What 𘲙 means
It was made to write the Khitan language. It stood alongside the Khitan large script. Some signs represented words; others represented sounds and joined into compact groups. Small script remained in use through the Liao, Western Liao, and Jin eras.
Does “Character-18C99” give me a pronunciation?
No; it identifies the encoded character, not its sound. Unicode names for this script use the code point as an identifier. That label locates the character in the standard; it is not a historical name or translation.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘲙 show as a box on some devices?
It is recent: Unicode added it in version 13.0 (2020), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
