Eeew ... indeed. And because our cvs history got disrupted for no
good reason and there are no meaningful comments, it can't even be
tracked back. But it's very old code, and nobody seems to use those
properties:

  $ cd $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/Instruments
  $ find -name \*.xml|xargs grep _asc
  $ cd $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/Instruments-3d
  $ find -name \*.xml|xargs grep _asc

So, rather than adding more stuff like this, I'd think about removing
that from navradio.cxx.

But it has nothing to do with overlaying ...

... but only with wanting to use the ascii code as offset in an
alphabet stripe on a texture. In that case (and if Nasal can't be
used) we should think about a different way to achieve that. It can't
be that for every text on instruments we also have to push a series
of ASCII values into the property tree. That's bad design.
