Logogram

/ˈlɒɡəɡræm/noun
ELI5 mode

A logogram is a written symbol that represents an entire word, morpheme, or idea directly, rather than a sequence of sounds, allowing for concise expression in complex languages. This system contrasts with alphabets by prioritizing meaning over phonetics, and in today's digital age, it's seen in emojis and icons that bridge language barriers for global communication.
