The kanji 超 is a pictophonetic compound, formed by combining two parts. The left side is a part of the kanji 走 (hashiru), which depicts the action of running or going. The right side is a simplified version of a character related to "voice." Thus, originally it depicted a person running and yelling, and the meaning evolved to "surpass" or "go beyond." The character conveys the idea of moving quickly beyond something.
