one-sided, leaf, sheet, right-side kata radical (no. 91)
片 centers on a single, flat piece of something: a leaf, a sheet, or one side of a pair. The radical sense is the same shape used as a component in other characters.
片 is a pictograph of a split piece of wood or a half of something, with the right side of the character representing the split edge.
The shape looks like a flat, rectangular sheet or a leaf, with a straight edge on the left and a slightly irregular right side, like a torn piece of paper.
For ヘン, imagine a hen pecking at a flat sheet of paper: hen -> ヘン, and the sheet is one-sided.
