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

What is the structure of the Chinese language?

Chinese is a language that is character-based, with each character representing a morpheme or a syllable. It is a tonal language, meaning that the pitch intonation of a word can change its meaning. Chinese has a subject-verb-object word order and is not inflected, meaning that it does not have verb conjugations or noun declensions like many other languages.


How do you tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese text at a glance?

The Japanese writing system is based on three main scripts: Kanji (Chinese Characters), Hiragana (a set of symbols that make up different words), and Katakana (another set of symbols used for sounds and foreign borrowings). If you learn to reconize the symbols of Hiragana and Katakana you will be able to defrinciate between the Chinese and Japanese written language. You will only see Kanji in Chinese while Japanese is fused with their own symbols. A chart illustrating the Japanese 'kana' symbols can be found in the related link below.
