A lot of characters in Asian languages look like the thing the symbol represents. Can't remember which language it was, but it has characters for "house," "home," and "family" that all look like slight variations to a simple drawing of a house.

There are thousands of Asian languages. Chinese and Japanese are the only languages that still use a logographic system. Korean also uses Chinese characters but only for special purposes, like academia.

yeah that's what gets me, like it would make getting context easy, but remembering which fine detail just won't stick in my head.
