What means
It means the number two, drawn in an outlined style.
The 1980s European character set for Sharp MZ home computers included outlined digits and capitals for logos and screen artwork. That display style survives as a separate Unicode character while keeping the numeric value two.
A graphic display accent that makes a numeral stand out.
