Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
We understand you're curious about the icon shown on the badge within the Find My app, so let's check into this together. Are you aware if a request to delete the iPhone has appeared, or was sent at the time that this shown up in Find My? If not, let's check if you have set your iPhone data to be erased after 10 failed attempts to see if this may be signaling that information will be deleted with the incorrect passcode attempts.
For assistance with checking this setting, take a look at the following steps and you can locate additional information here: Set a passcode on iPhone - Apple Support
Erase data after 10 failed passcodes
Set iPhone to erase all information, media, and personal settings after 10 consecutive failed passcode attempts.
1. Go to Settings, then do one of the following:
• On an iPhone with Face ID: Tap Face ID & Passcode.
• On an iPhone with a Home button: Tap Touch ID & Passcode.
2. Scroll to the bottom and turn on Erase Data.
After all data is erased, you must restore your device from a backup or set it up again as new.
If that isn't related to this, contact Apple Support directly to check into this in more detail with you.
Have a great day!
