The usual cause of that is that you have accidentally typed some letters
into the search field at the top left of the settings window.  There
will be a tiny X, white on grey, to the right of the letters, click on
that, and then all the settings icons should reappear.

That will cause the above, and is a keyboard membrane failure, it needs
servicing or replacement.  You might try manipulating the 2 key.

Of course not, that won't make any difference to a failed keyboard.  ;-}
