Pictograms > Kanji.

Pictograms are good fun.
This is a river:

This is water
(if you squeeze a river (the three lines) you get water):

I stopped smiling when I discovered there are 3000 of them and each has 2 names, one when alone, the other when in a compound.Some pictograms have 22 names and 34.6 meanings. How much fun...
