What 𑇒 means

It represents two in Sharada’s decimal digit set.

Also spelled Sarada or Sharda, Sharada descended from Gupta Brahmi via Kutila, becoming distinct in the 8th century. Early evidence includes 8th–10th-century inscriptions and coins; a slab at Hund, dated 774–775, is a disputed oldest-record candidate. The 12th-century Bakhshali mathematical treatise is the earliest identified manuscript.

Related to Nagari and Proto-Bengali, Sharada later gave rise to Takri, Landa, and Gurmukhi. It was Kashmir’s main literary and inscriptional script from the 8th to 20th centuries.

On its own, this historical Sharada numeral means two.

A box means missing Sharada font support, not a different numeral.

Questions people ask

Why does 𑇒 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Sharada block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
