The kanji 普 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phonetic-semantic compound character. The character is composed of the radical 丷（八 hatsu/八 hachi - eight, meaning "to divide" or "to separate" originally) and 並（並 narabi - to line up, to be side by side). Together, it implies the meaning of "to extend evenly" or "to spread out." The addition of the "eight" radical suggests the idea of spread to multiple directions. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent something that is widespread or common.
