Yes, it is. In fact, I made a small application to reduce the token consumption for translating from one language to another, and I even invented a language called Tokinensis, which is a mix of different languages, and I ran my own tests with savings of 30%. Chinese is amazing because they encapsulate a ton of information in a single symbol, so you can save a ton of tokens.
Interested; I came across a post that was mentioning using Kanji for specific use to reduce context.
