Most Chinese characters consist of a radical (out of 200 or so) and a sound part. So it's not like Hangul or some other systems where you can definitely break them up into many smaller parts.
It's true that visually speaking, some sound parts consist of for example boxes or lines that are also used in other characters, but they have no independent sound, or even deeper meaning.
