Another possibility is 'meaning-pronunciation' index. I believe
this is one of a few ways to refer to CJK characters (say, over the

in all CJK countries. However, to do this, we need much more raw data
(more or less like a small dictionary) than UniHan DB provides because
it lists meanings of characters in English only.
That's one thing I wish I could do -- "Dan" as in "Bomb" because I
can't go like "YOU five ef three ee" :) I know that's difficult but it
strikes me to find out we still have no way to canonically specify
(Hanzi|Kanji|Hanja) after all these years (besides Unicode code points
but who the heck wants to do so ?).
perl -e 'print "\x{5c0f}\x{98fc} \x{5f3e}\n";
