The kanji 譜譜 is a phono-semantic compound. The left side is 讠(言) which is the semantic component, meaning "words" or "speech" and indicating that it relates to language and records. The right side is 甫 which is the phonetic component, suggesting the sound and meaning of "beginning" or "first" and originally means something that helps "plant," which implies that the creation of musical notation is the beginning of the written representation of music. The combination thus indicates "written record of music."
