If memory serves me right, hieroglyphs actually represent consonants 
(vowels are implicit), and as such, are most definitely "characters".

The only language I can think of, off the top of my head, where words 
have distinct signs is sign language. It is a good question whether 
Unicode should include such a language (difficulty of representing 
motion in a font aside).
