I think the answer is:
KIEV, capital of Ukraine. The word is outdated, because nowadays one is supposed to use the Ukrainian transliteration Kyiv instead of the older one, which is associated with Russia and the Soviet era. The word is relevant, because this puzzle is about capitals.
Each of the tables ...
... describes a single letter. There are 2 by 3 table cells below the header in bold, which suggests Braille.
The contents of the table are patterns, where an asterisk means: one or several letters go here. The header describes a continent, the regular cells describe a national capital. If there is a capital matching the pattern in that continent, place a dot in that cell, if there isn't, leave the cell blank.
The H example
The e* is Europe and some of the patterns are matched by (e.g.) Tirana (Albania), Vienna (Austria) and Warsaw (Poland), giving the letter H in Braille:
e*
t* u* o ·
v* w* o o
x* y* · ·
The first letter
The matches in North America are (e.g.) San Salvador (El Salvador) and Washington, DC (U.S.A.), giving the letter K:
*or*
*do* *if* o ·
*so* *ti* · ·
*in* *no* o ·
The second letter
The matches in Asia are Tashkent (Uzbekistan) and Muscat (Oman). They produce an I.
*sia*
*cara* *tash* · o
*cat* *orla* o ·
*nina* *tina* · ·
The third letter
South America is home to Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Santiago de Chile. They spell an E:
*s*u*m*
*i*r*e* *n*o*t* o ·
*e*y*e* *n*a*g* · o
*t*u*b* *s*e*e* · ·
The fourth letter
The matches in Africa are, among others, Abuja (Nigeria), Freetown (Sierra Leone), Conakry (Guinea) and Brazzaville (Congo) for a V:
*f*
*j* *q* o ·
*w* *x* o ·
*y* *z* o o
