> 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. > Ideogram definition is - a picture or symbol used in a system of writing to represent a thing or an idea but not a particular word or phrase for it;
