Characters with this property are considered to be CJKV (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese) or other siniform (Chinese writing-related) ideographs. This property roughly defines the class of “Chinese characters” and does not include characters of other logographic scripts such as Cuneiform or Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The Ideographic property is used in the definition of Ideographic Description Sequences.

Characters with the Ideographic property include unified CJK ideographs, CJK compatibility ideographs, Tangut ideographs, Nüshu ideographs, and characters from other blocks—for example, IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO (U+3007) and IDEOGRAPHIC CLOSING MARK (U+3006).

Support for the Ideographic character property is enabled in the JSON configuration file with:

{
    "characterProperties": [
        "Ideographic"
    ]
}
