The kanji 敷敷 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is a radical (部首, bushu) and the right side is a phonetic component that hints at the sound and meaning. The left side of the character is the radical 尸(し, shī), depicting a person or body. The right side is the phonetic component 夫(ふ, fu) which carries the sound フ and the meaning related to "man" or "husband". Therefore, this kanji has been created by combining the radical 尸 with the phonetic component 夫 to describe the action of laying something on a surface, like a person or something else.
