Definition
沪 is the official abbreviation for Shanghai, used in place names, license plates, and codes (like 沪A for Shanghai license plates). You'll see it on highway signs, train routes, and in news headlines as a shorthand for the city. It's not used in everyday conversation — in speech you'd say 上海 (Shànghǎi).
