Better notation, pH=-log([H^+]), about the best to be done this way because the rendering will destroy part of it. A more convenient way to express this could be pH=-log(H), and we just need to know we are using base ten.

-log(H)=2.9
log(H)=-2.9
The meaning is,

Near 0.00126 M. You want to take this to two significant figures.
