Meanings and usage

adjective: hot (to the touch); scalding, to burn/scald (verb sense also attested)
燙

Wiktionary lists this character with several senses (scald/burn, warm up, perm hair, blanch, iron, and 'hot' as a stative adjective) under one Teochew reading, so the choice between adjective 'hot/scalding' and verb 'to scald/burn' as the primary PoS is a judgment call.
