Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll fill in the missing digit and verify the primality of the constructed number:

  1. List potential digits to fill in the square: These range from 0 to 9.
  2. Apply the prime number test for each potential number:
    • 0505: Not a valid number, as it's less than 10.
    • 1515: Divisible by 3 (15÷3=515 \div 3 = 5).
    • 2525: Divisible by 5.
    • 3535: Divisible by 5.
    • 4545: Divisible by 5.
    • 5555: Divisible by 5.
    • 6565: Divisible by 5.
    • 7575: Divisible by 5.
    • 8585: Divisible by 5.
    • 9595: Divisible by 5.
  3. After testing all candidate numbers, only 05\mathbf{05} was incorrectly formed as it is less than 10. All other numbers are non-prime because they have additional factors; numbers ending with 5 are divisible by 5.
  4. Thus, only 05\boxed{05}, where the \square is replaced by 00, fits the requirement, resulting in a more sensible reading as simply 5, which is indeed prime.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 0 0 .
