Wikipedia definition
4. Chinese character classification​All Chinese characters are logograms, but there are several derivative types. These include a handful which derive from pictograms and a number which are ideographic (指事 zhǐshì) in origin, but the vast majority originated as phono-semantic compounds (形聲 xíngshēng). In older literature, Chinese characters in general may be referred to as ideograms, due to the misconception that characters represented ideas directly, whereas in fact they do so only through association with the spoken word.
