English has homophones that are spelled differently...

Possibly not for too much longer though, given the trend on the
internet to spell homophones interchageably.

Which part of the Japanese (or Chinese, for that matter) writing system
do you think is "ideographic", and why?

I suppose 上 (above) and 下 (below) would be a bit of a stretch, but
what about 一 (one), 二 (two), and 三 (three)? Would those not be
ideographs?

They're iconic. How is that relevant to whether they represent
morphemes or "ideas"?
