• In modern Standard Chinese, this character is almost entirely used for phonetic translations. The character mainly represents the phoneme /f/ in word-final and preconsonantal positions.
• The characters 不 (bù) and 否 (fǒu) are far more commonly used to mean “no”.
• In lects such as Shanghainese or Ningbonese, the character 勿 is more commonly used. It also has the tone sandhi pattern of a light deparing (陽去／阳去 (yángqù)) tone.

Originally borrowed from Middle Chinese 弗 (*pjut), meaning either “not” or “a gust of wind”. Apparently later repurposed during the later Edo period for its phonetic value in translating the Dutch fluor (“fluorine”).
