Confused about redirecting stderr

I know that

Code:
mmmmm 2> error.txt

will send the error message to the specified file instead of the screen. However, I have seen

Code:
>&2

in some scripts, and I can't get it to do anything. A source said it sends stdout and stderr to a file. What file?


Ubuntu 18.04.2; Xfce 4.12.3; kernel 4.15.0-45-generic; bash 4.4.19(1); Dell Inspiron-518
