| Chinese characters are logograms that can contain phonetic information and can stand for related or unrelated concepts in other East Asian languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. |
| Printing spread early to Korea and Japan, which also used Chinese logograms, but the technique was also used in Turpan and Vietnam using a number of other scripts. |
| The history of writing systems progresses from pictorial representations, to logograms, and eventually to the alphabet. |
| By the Postclassic, this had been codified into a much more rigid system closely resembling that of Japanese, in which a well-defined syllabary can supplement or even replace logograms. |
| Unlike languages that use alphabets to indicate their pronunciation, Chinese characters have developed from logograms that do not always give hints to their pronunciation. |
| On request, the containers of the Newbox series can be produced to individual requirements with embossed logograms or texts. |
