What ෨ means
෨ represents two in Lith Illakkam, a traditional Sinhala numeral system. The system is also called Lith Lakunu or ephemeris numerals, meaning digits used in tables of celestial positions. Before 1815, Lith digits served calculations; descriptions after 1815 focus on horoscope calculations. Sinhala Illakkam has a connected history, but this does not establish that one system descended directly from the other.
Historical or specialist; Unicode's 2025 review lists Lith digits as not in common use.

1Why does ෨ 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.
