Chinese people created 5, 000 ideographic characters in ancient times and still they use in daily base. Japanese borrowed their characters but not all, that is 2, 000 Chinese characters.We spent tens of thousands of hours to learn by heart these Chinese characters. But it's clear those Chinese characters are very complicated, not easy for daily use, and obsolete. I just didn't want to think it was of no use I spent many hours in learning ideographic characters. Base 5,000 is possible and some genius might use this method probably intuitively, but we have to wait for another 150,000 years for the use of this notation.
