INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Written Chinese characters started with both pictorial and ideographic ones, but has grown more complex over history: Sometimes two characters that had the same sound would get confused and become the same character. Sometimes new characters are made combining the sound from one and meaning of another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chinese writing is logographic, that is, every symbol either represents a word or a minimal unit of meaning.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Chinese scripts are written in various calligraphic hands, principally seal script, clerical script, regular script, semi-cursive script, and cursive script. (See Chinese calligraphy and Chinese script styles.)

Detailed explanation-4: -The term “ideogram” is often used to describe symbols of writing systems such as Egyptian hieroglyphs, Sumerian cuneiform and Chinese characters. However, these symbols represent elements of a particular language, mostly words or morphemes (so that they are logograms), rather than objects or concepts.
