(comment)	Kanji exist (張り扇), but are almost never used - the katakana form is the standard spelling of the word (nearly 40,000 Google hits, compared to under 500 for the kanji form).
There doesn't seem to be a "usually katakana" code, though, so I've left the kanji out and put the headword as katakana instead.
