You're correct, Chen Zhe, it's not a perfect analogy. I was trying to think of a way to express VMS glyph combinations as "sense" units rather than as individual letters, and since this way of combining linguistic units (whether concepts or sounds) is unfamiliar in western languages, I was hoping to illustrate the idea with examples from Asian languages, where shapes can express ideas in addition to sounds.
