After you send a message, what does "read" with a lock mean? Does it mean the message was read?

I sent a text to an international number, after the text was sent, on the original text message there's a small message in the right bottom corner that says "read" with a lock that I know means encrypted.

My question is does "read' mean the message was read?

Thanks for your help.

What else would it mean/ If it said delivered it would mean delivered, if it said sent it would mean it was sent. Therefore Read means it was read
