Definition
小号 has three distinct meanings: as a musical instrument (trumpet, the most common literary sense), as a size designation for clothing or other goods (small size), and as a modern slang term for a secondary or anonymous account on social media (alt account). In older or commercial contexts, it can also be a humble term for one's own store, though this is rare today.
