If you mean what symbols make up the Chinese language then,
The Chinese language consists of several thousand characters, each adapted from pictoraphs or a combination of pictographs to create a meaning. This means that there are thousands of different "symbols" that make up the Chinese language, also there are several forms of Chinese, such as mandarin (traditional and simplified) and cantonese, these generally are similar or in most cases are the same, but can vary. However there are 29 different strokes essential to making these characters. These are compounds of 8 simple strokes. The simple strokes are
Dian-dot, Heng-horizontal, Shu-vertical, Gu-sharp change in direction, Ti a flick of the brush, Wan- a concave line, Pie (peee-eh), a diagonal leftwards, Na-inverse of Pie
