P2SH addresses on regtest and testnet start with "2".
But this is neither a testnet nor a mainnet bitcoin address because of it's too long and because it contains both "O" and "I" which are excluded characters in base58 to prevent visual ambiguity.
It can be an address for another coin but you'll have to ask the one who posted it to know which one it is.

It's not a bitcoin address I guess. Where did you get the address from? It's more like an address in different chain or an address of wrapped bitcoin. I'm not sure if it's SOL address; I guess it is if I can remember correctly. It would be good if you share which wallet is it though it's more like a coinbase wallet.
Someone posted it on a group I belong to. I'm guessing it is not a bitcoin address after all. It is popular on crypto telegram. OP didn't have to hide the address the original is online. I will send it when I find it. It should be among one of the messages

All my research about wallets and addresses has taught me there are 3 types of Bitcoin address.
Actually there are a couple more, especially if testnet is also taken into account: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes
And if we take all the altcoins too... sky is the limit.
However, you should tell a little more about the background of all this. For example, afaik, a QR code is simply another representation for a text, it doesn't mean that this text has to be a Bitcoin address. Also, the fact you have hidden the text doesn't mean you've hidden the (so called) address. The QR code translates to
Code:
2F5UCBQJSMHZ5LOSQ6RW5UDYWQ5IPFL6QEH7S3VFTTWMVVQIBOIZCCY3UU
and any QR code reader can see that.
It might depend on what you mean by this.
In the specification the "1", "3" and "bc1" are separators meaning it is set clearly by clients that those should be looked out for.
It might, however, be possible for some clients to acknowledge an address beginning with something other than 1 if funds are sent to it - so they can't be spent but places like block explorers might Index them.

1. P2PKH addresses start with the number 1. Example: 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2.
2. P2SH addresses start with the number 3. Example: 3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy.
3. Bech32 addresses also known as "bc1 addresses" start with bc1. Example: bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq.

So can someone explain this anomaly. This bitcoin address begins with the number 2. Is it possible to customize Bitcoin address or this photo a photoshop meme
