Best Answer

An ideogram is a figure which represents a whole word. One which we use a lot is a heart for the word "love". You will note that the heart shape does not actually look a lot like a real heart, and in any case, the heart does not really have anything to do with love. So the ideogram itself does not usually convey the idea of the word it represents, because it is an abstracted design, and its meaning is conventional. Chinese ideograms are the same thing--they once were like pictures, but you can't figure out what they were supposed to be anymore.

What is the difference between ideograms and pictograms or pictographs?

A Pictogram or pictograph is an iconical representation, which means that it resembles what it represents. You can easily identify what it is represented. However, by using this system people couldn't represent ideas or feelings thats why ideograms appeared afterwards. Ideograms are symbols (like traffic signals) which have been preeconceived by humans. We must know previously what it represents in order to decipher its meaning.

How diffent are ideograms cueniforms and phonetic alphabets?

Ideograms are symbols that represent entire words or concepts, but don't give a clue as to how the word is pronounced. An example of an ideogram is & (which is pronounced AND in English and Y in Spanish, but has the same meaning in both languages). Cuneiforms are highly stylized ideograms, using a tool that creates little, wedge-like strokes. Some cuneiforms (in the later history of languages that use them) are phonetic. Phonetic alphabets only have symbols that represent sounds, not words.
