Nice work; I like how it can all be brought back to numbers. I wonder if a new keyboard input method could use those codes.
The standard way to describe Hanzi is IDC codes. Those are used in Unicode proposals, and in the Unihan database.

I added IDC lookup to Pingtype's keyboard, which normally searches the radicals in a decomposition database. It's crude, but lets me input a traditional character when I can only recognise half of it.
