# Writing
DjanZi writing system is logographic. Simple words are purely pictograms, but
more complex or abstract words are expressed with ideograms and phonograms,
based on the pictograms, similar to how it's done in Chinese.
## Pictograms
Pictograms are characters representing an object or idea by how it's
visualized.
## Ideograms
Ideograms are characters composing two or three pictograms to suggest a
concept, usually hard to visualize. Each pictogram is called a radical.
The radicals are placed horizontally in ideograms with ratio 1:1, 1:2, or
1:1:2.
## Phonograms
Phonograms are characters based on its synonyms. All phonograms are indicated
with the character (mouth) on the left, with ratio 1:2.
Some phonograms also consists of semantic component. This semantic component
occupy the top of the right part of the character (if this semantic component
has one radical) or the bottom of the character (if this semantic component has
two or more radicals)
