U+1218F "𒆏" Cuneiform Sign Kab is a specific character from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, which was used in ancient Mesopotamia for writing languages such as Sumerian and Akkadian. This sign represents the syllabic value "kab" or "kab₂" and was also employed as a determinative in some contexts to clarify the meaning of associated words. It belongs to the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block of Unicode, added to the standard to facilitate digital representation and preservation of one of humanity's earliest writing systems. The character's graphical form consists of wedge-shaped impressions typical of cuneiform, and it can be rendered correctly in digital text only with appropriate fonts and software support for this historical script.
