U+8410 "萐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8410 "萐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character traditionally understood to refer to a type of fan or a fan-shaped object, often specifically associated with an ancient ceremonial fan made of stalks or leaves known as the "shà" in classical texts. Its composition includes the grass radical (艹) atop the phonetic component "疌," and it appears in historical Chinese lexicons such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined in relation to ritual or decorative fans. In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete and is primarily encountered in specialized contexts like classical literature studies or historical linguistics, rather than in everyday written Chinese.
