U+278B Dingbat Negative Circled Sans-Serif Digit Two
U+278B was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Dingbats in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Number and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The codepoint represents the digit 2.
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+278B forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
2 (two) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 1 and preceding 3. It is the smallest and the only even prime number.
Because it forms the basis of a duality, it has religious and spiritual significance in many cultures.
