each character has a meaning of it's own, unlike an alphabet. to be more specific they are ideograms, here is the meaning of the word:
ideogram |ˈɪdɪə(ʊ)gram| |ˈʌɪd-|
noun
a written character symbolizing the idea of a thing without indicating the sounds used to say it, e.g., numerals and Chinese characters.
