One of the set of glyphs common to Chinese (where they are called "hanzi"), Japanese (where they are called kanji), and Korean (where they are called hanja). Han characters are generally described as "ideographic", i.e., picture-writing; but see the reference below.

This unification is referred to as "Han Unification", with the resulting character repertoire sometimes referred to as "Unihan".
