where to put "almost only"

[herbivorie]

I'm explaining a kanji (a chinese character used in the Japanese language) to American people.

1. This kanji is used almost only for this phrase.
2. This kanji is almost only used for this phrase.

Which is correct (or more natural)?

They are both correct and equivalent for me.

For this phrase or in this phrase?

For this phrase or in this phrase?

I don't know. Is "for" incorrect?

I don't know. Is "for" incorrect?

I would use either.

Does the kanji represent the whole phrase (for) or a part (in)?

 

[Raymott]

I'd say, "This kanji is used almost solely for this phrase."

I'd say, "This kanji is used almost solely for this phrase."

Right...or 'almost exclusively'.

I see. Since the kanji represents a part of the phrase, now I think it should be "in".
Thank you for pointing that out.
