What 𝚂 means
It is a style-marked S; the formula gives it a role.
Mathematical notation uses letter styles to distinguish symbols. A 1999 proposal for mathematical alphabets records their use in published mathematics and science, and argues that plain text should preserve their separate meanings. Monospace was one style in the proposed set.

1Why did 𝚂 turn into S?
Compatibility normalization can do that. It is a text conversion that reduces mathematical letter styles to base letters, so 𝚂 can become ordinary S and lose its distinction.
