Deuterium has the symbol “D”, not “H” (and certainly not a symbol resembling H-squared).

I believe it can also be 2H.

Deuterium has the symbol D, not H (and certainly not a symbol resembling H-squared). Deuterium can be denoted with the H. It is heavy isotope of hydrogen after all.
But the convention would be to have the superscript 2 before the H.
2H
Just as Carbon 14 is written as 14C
