Chinese characters with graphical composition lists

Hanzi 汉字 (漢字) showing the characters that compose each one of them.

A Chinese character logogram is a written character that represents a word or a morpheme in the Chinese language.

Logograms are symbols that convey meaning directly, rather than representing the sounds of a language like an alphabet does. Chinese characters are logograms, and each character typically represents a single syllable or a morpheme, which is the smallest unit of meaning in a language.

Chinese characters are unique in that they are logograms with a rich history and complex structure. They are composed of strokes and components that convey meaning and pronunciation. While some characters are pictographic, meaning they resemble the objects they represent, most characters are ideographic, representing abstract ideas or concepts.

Characters are grouped by different criterias to help in browsing them easily.
