Universal low-energy properties are studied for three identical bosons confined in two dimensions. The short-range pairwise interaction in the low-energy limit is described by means of the boundary condition model. The wave function is expanded in a set of eigenfunctions on the hypersphere, and the system of hyperradial equations is used to obtain analytical and numerical results. Within the framework of this method, exact analytical expressions are derived for the eigenpotentials and the coupling terms of hyperradial equations. The derivation of the coupling terms is generally applicable to a variety of three-body problems provided the interaction is described by the boundary condition model. The asymptotic form of the total wave function at a small and a large hyperradius {rho} is studied, and the universal logarithmic dependence {approx}ln{sup 3} {rho} in the vicinity of the triple-collision point is derived. Precise three-body binding energies and the (2+1)-scattering length are calculated.
