爛
U+721B "爛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "rotten," "overcooked," "soft," or "mushy," often describing food that has been cooked to a very soft or spoiled state, as well as being used metaphorically to indicate something worn out or decrepit. It can also convey the idea of being bright, brilliant, or splendid when used in compounds like "燦爛" meaning "gorgeous" or "radiant." Composed of the fire radical "火" and the phonetic component "蘭," its usage extends across both literal and figurative contexts in classical and modern written Chinese.
