Adrien,

Perhaps a bit of a digression, but they're probably not Chinese-only. Unicode 
organizes east asian scripts as Chinese-Japanese-Korean or CJK. It supports 
almost 98,000 characters and variations, see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs. A subset of 21,000 code 
points are encoded in the CJK Unified Block 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs_(Unicode_block), providing 
"most common CJK ideographs used in modern" asian languages. That might seem an 
insane number to people familiar only with European writing, but since the 
characters represent words, not composable phonemes, proficient writers would 
likely consider it a bit limiting to use only those characters.
 
Regards,
John Ralls
