How it's used
Describes a texture that is soft and yielding, often implying a slight chewiness or elasticity. While it can describe freshly baked goods as pleasantly soft, it is also frequently used to describe food that has lost its crispness due to moisture, becoming unpleasantly soggy.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 淋, which generally describes food that has been cooked until it is soft or tender, such as meat or vegetables. 𠸑 specifically focuses on the tactile, elastic, or spongy quality of doughy or bread-like items.
