ideogram
noun
ধারণাপ্রতীক

Definition:
a written symbol that represents an idea or object directly rather than a particular word or speech sound, as a Chinese character.

Note:
An ideogram or ideograph is “a written symbol that represents an idea or object directly rather than a word or speech sound, as a Chinese character.” Ideogram and ideograph literally mean “a written idea,” from Greek idéa “idea” and the noun grámma or the Greek combining form -graphos, both meaning “something written,” which are derivatives of the verb gráphein “to write.” Because ideograms convey meaning, not words or sounds, 5 can be pronounced five, fünf, pięć, pĕt, pénte, pémpe, or in several thousand other ways. Ideogram and ideograph both entered English in the first half of the 19th century.

Learning vocabulary in isolation is really daunting. I experienced such when I memorized high-frequency gre vocabulary. But when I solved i.e. filled the blanks in Mahatan's gre book, I understood how gorgeous a sentence could be.
