Ideographic dictionaries are systems that use symbols (particularly pictograms and ideograms) to convey information and express ideas in different languages. Research in this field focuses on the historical development of ideographic systems, their formation, and evolution in various social and cultural contexts. This study examines the emergence of ideographic dictionaries, their visual differences, and classification methods. It also analyzes the changes in ideographic systems from antiquity to the present day and their usage in modern languages.
