Ideographic

Ideographic is a term used to refer to a type of writing system in which graphemes, or symbols, represent individual morphemes and words. It is distinct from other writing systems such as alphabetic and syllabic, in which graphemes represent phonemes, or units of sound. The origin of the term ideographic is believed to have been derived from the Ancient Greek word ‘ideogramma’, which translates literally to ‘idea written’. A key aspect of this term is its etymological connection with the Ancient Greek value of ‘idea’, or ‘image’, which has been preserved in the modern term. This etymological evolution of the term has been reflected in the morphological structure of ideographs, which comprise symbols that capture the visual appearance of an idea or image, such as a sunrise or house. Pragmatically, the use of the ideographic writing system has been a popular choice across different historical periods and cultural contexts, due to its ability to communicate ideas, regardless of language and dialect.
