Usage in Korean

It functions similarly to the character 於, serving as a preposition or particle in classical Chinese.

In usage, 于 and 於 are often interchangeable, both expressing relations such as "in," "at," "to," "from," or "than", depending on context.

Though it has other historical uses, 于 is now mainly seen in literary or formal language, especially in classical texts or set phrases.
