Logogrammatic refers to the use of logograms or symbols to represent words or phrases. Some possible synonyms for logogrammatic include hieroglyphic, ideographic, pictographic, symbolic, and character-based. Each of these terms emphasizes the use of visual representations rather than alphabetic or phonetic systems of writing. Hieroglyphic refers specifically to the ancient Egyptian system of writing, while ideographic and pictographic can be used more broadly to refer to any system that uses symbols to convey meaning. Symbolic and character-based are broader still, and can refer to any system that uses non-alphabetic elements to represent words or concepts.
