U+5F17 "弗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
弗
U+5F17 "弗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the meanings of "not" or "do not," often functioning as a negative particle in Classical Chinese. It appears frequently in ancient texts, such as the Confucian Analects, where it expresses prohibition or denial. The character's structure combines the radical "弓" (bow) with the component "丨" (a vertical line), which some scholars interpret as a depiction of a bow wrapped or bound, symbolizing the idea of constraint or negation. In modern usage, "弗" is less common, but it remains significant in literary or historical contexts and is occasionally used in names or transliterations, such as in the term "弗洛伊德" for Sigmund Freud.
