I totally agree with this. I think the Unicode way of naming the Han
characters is the only practical approach.
When you said a lot of [Han "ideographs"] have no pronunciation, I
thought you meant that there was no documented pronunciation at all
for the character. I didn't realize you meant that some graphs have
no documented pronunciation in *all three languages* which no doubt is
true. (A dozen or so indigenous Japanese kanji creations immediately
come to mind).
I was interested in seeing an example of a Han graph that has no
documented pronunciation because I was under the impression that such
a graph doesn't/cannot exist.
