Not all\s\up1(25(25) characters were developed from drawings of objects.Sometimes to express ideas\s\up1(26(26)， some characters were made by combining\s\up1(27(27) two or more characters together.For example\s\up1(28(28)， 'rest' was made up of\s\up1(29(29) the characters for a man and a tree.The character 'prisoner' was formed with\s\up1(30(30) a 'man' inside a square.Other characters were developed for directions and numbers.\s\up1(31(31)It is easy to distinguish\s\up1(32(32) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for 'up' and 'down'， \s\up1(33(33)which are opposites\s\up1(34(34) of each other.
