In Chinese, font files tend to be relatively large because unlike the English alphabet with its 26 letters that can compose all possible words, Chinese characters do not operate on an alphabetic principle. Each unique character in a Chinese font file represents a distinct graphical symbol, and there are thousands of commonly used characters alone—more than 3,000 as you mentioned. This means that each font must include representations for these numerous characters, which contributes to the overall size of the font file compared to a typical Latin font. Additionally, since Chinese characters are more complex graphically, they often require more space and data to store and render.
