Ideograms
指事字 Characters either modify existing pictographs iconically, or are direct iconic illustrations 上 shàng "up“ 下 xià "down”
Ideogrammic compounds
会意字 Translated literally as logical aggregates or associative compounds, these characters symbolically combine pictograms or ideograms to create a third character.
木 林 森 mù "tree” lín "grove", sēn "forest".
Phono-semantic compounds
形声字 The phono-semantic compounds, also called semantic-phonetic compounds or pictophonetic compounds.
河 hé “river”,
pictographic
氵 shuǐ
phonetic
可 kě 湖 hú "lake", 氵 shuǐ 胡 hú
Transformed cognates
转注字 The mutual-explanatory characters typically are a pair or a group of characters, that share the same radical and have similar meaning.
考 kǎo "to verify" 老 lǎo "old" were once the same character, meaning "elderly person"
Rebus
假借字 Also called borrowings or phonetic loan characters, this category covers cases where an existing character is used to represent an unrelated word with similar pronunciation; sometimes the old meaning is then lost completely.
自 zì, "oneself“ , original meaning of "nose” 萬 wàn, "ten thousand“, originally meant "scorpion”
