ancient Chinese characters mean words or letters!
Chinese characters evolved from cave drawings, so technically a Chinese character stands for something you want to talk about or refer to. One character already stands for one thing or coherent thought, unlike the English alphabet.
English alphabet requires stringing together several letters to create a coherent thought or word. Chinese characters need only one character to convey the idea or thought it is trying to express.
To put it simply, one single Chinese character is one word. It is almost never simply a letter. Putting together Chinese characters creates a sentence that expresses the situation of something or someone, either physically or emotionally.
