It's not easy to get such domain name, let's see if anyone here owns such a domain name.

Domain names with two characters are considered premium from my understanding and are withheld to good use only rather than any tom, dick and harry purchasing it.

They are very hard to acquire.. usually selling for millions / billions.

They are domain extensions, correct me if I'm wrong but I think what was meant by two characters for instance is

lol...Dan just gave an example of two character domain name. O2 is a mobile company and its a big brand. Dan might be using O2 mobile so this name would have immediately clicked in his mind while reading this thread.

It is really very difficult to get a 2 character domain name. However, it is not impossible if you are ready to spend a good amount of money for the domain

It's really not necessary to spend much to get 2 character domain!

Surprised?

You can search any 2 character domain available and register with WHUK and it's really cheap here.

In most cases, two letter domain names are reserved as there are only limited number of them (1296 if I am not mistaken) in existence. So even if you manage to find someone willing to sell a two character domain, it could well turn out to be a very expensive proposition.

Thank you for the suggestion Matt. However, I have already checked the 2 character domains which I would like to have and they are not available Infact, 2 character domains are hardly available. Check if you find one domain with 2 characters.

Yeah looks like most of the good ones are already taken. The available ones are with Country-code TLDs, the popular ones taken again..

You are welcome, Caroline! Even I checked for 2 character domain and it would be surprising for you that it is available!

I was checking availability irrespective of its Country-code TLDs or popularity!
