Unicode Version 17.0
𒓐
U+124D0 "𒓐" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Bu is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a compound sign formed by combining the KA sign (often associated with the mouth or speech) and the BU sign (which can carry several syllabic values). Its phonetic value in cuneiform texts is traditionally read as "kab" or a similar sound, and it belongs to the block of Early Dynastic Cuneiform, used primarily in ancient Mesopotamian writing systems between roughly 2900 and 2000 BCE. This sign appears in administrative, lexical, and literary texts, contributing to the complex logographic and syllabic repertoire that scribes employed to record the Sumerian and Akkadian languages.
