No. It's two words that form a phrase.

No. You are breaking characters down to their proto-verbal forms. Each character in 你好 is a word. It is two words together that form a phrase.

Originally, yes. In modern Chinese, there are five categories of characters, and they are not just drawings.

Aren’t Latin characters if you trace back the full lineage of writing systems related to other writing systems just really abstract drawings of animals because different animals make different noises?

Everybody thinks it was like Chinese but it wasn’t, it was an alphabet and the symbols were animals.

Most alphabets come from drawings. Modern Chinese is not "all drawings". It has become very stylized and detached from the original pictograms.

Not so. They had a 24 letter alphabet, many duo-syllabic symbols, and many ideographic symbols.

Egyptian hieroglyphics did have a phonetic component. In some language it’s more efficient to represent words without using vowels. And obviously, some symbols can have meaning that isn’t phonetic, but it’s still not the same as Chinese where every word is its own character and the characters don’t have much to do with how the words sound.
