[xyahdvvi] Kanji in ASCII

Create an ASCII text description of Chinese characters that (in principle) can be read by people.

One way: standardized vocabulary (in some ASCII renderable language) of radicals and way of describing the position of a radical within a character. First disambiguation suffix: a number by stroke count.  Second disambiguation suffix: a number by commonness.

It will be very cumbersomely long.
