Hey! This exactly what I have been thinking for years. And which
I am trying to elaborate for the Easter Island script right now.

Anyway, back to Chinese. I am persuaded that it would be feasible,
easy even, to work out a program that would take the strokes one
by one and build the corresponding character. For instance:
sheng (life) = pie3, heng2, heng2, shu4, heng2. (or pie,
heng, shu, heng, heng)

Is that what you had in mind, or something else?
