What 𐧓 means
Two hundred.
As Egyptian writing declined, Meroitic developed for Kush's local language. Cursive, based partly on Demotic (an Egyptian cursive script), served general writing. A dated text naming King Arnekhamani comes from around 200 BCE; less evolved inscriptions suggest Meroitic Cursive was already emerging in the 3rd century BCE.
The later hieroglyphic script drew on Egyptian hieroglyphs and was used on royal monuments and temples. After the fourth century CE, Nubian gradually replaced the Meroitic language; by the sixth century, Coptic writing for Nubian included three signs borrowed from Meroitic Cursive.
A specialist historical numeral; outside Meroitic writing, it may need explanation.

1Why does 𐧓 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
