If Vietnamese still use Chữ Nôm then every character would also be a syllable.
But then again, a CJKV character (Hanzi, Kanji, Hangul, Chữ Nôm) is technically a character according to unicode, but it is not a unit of writing. A CJKV character have components and strokes, and the components may have components of their own. OTOH, nobody actually thinks of a latin character as having components (seriously, what are the components of the letter “A”?)
