Kanji 普 universal, wide(ly), generally 遍 everywhere, times, widely Related words 一般 means 'general' or 'common' in an everyday sense, whereas 普遍 is a stronger, more philosophical term implying no exceptions anywhere.
普遍 is the bare noun for universality, while 普遍的 is the na-adjective form used to directly describe a noun as universal.
Don't confuse with 遍在 specifically means being physically present everywhere (ubiquitous presence), while 普遍 describes an abstract quality or truth applying universally.
