Hi,
I don't complain, but try to explain the situation.

Ideogram chararacter has its unique meanings on each of it.
It corresponds to a word in the languages written in
phonograms, not a character say `A' of English letters or
`Alpha' of Greek. Though the origin of CJK characters is
China of course, the meaning or usage of ideograms is much
different so far.
e.g. A word `Stein' in German corresponds to a `stone' in
English, but we don't consider changing all of the formar to
the latter. They are words of different languages even if
written in similar glyphs or spellings.
