Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I was curious if anyone would be able to clarify the meaning of the character 柔. In the dictionaries I've found it's listed as "soft, pliable, weak", and I'm wondering if the meaning about a person of "weak" as in incapable is easily understood, or if it's more often understood as something to the effect of "gentle"?
