Et voilà!  We have Ideographic Description Sequences.  Or, if you're more 
ambitious, CDL.  

Generative mechanisms for Han are very attractive given the nature of the 
script, but once you try to support something other than display, or even try 
to write a rendering engine, all sorts of nasty problems crop up that have 
proven difficult to solve.  We won't even get into the problem of wanting to 
discourage people from making up new ad hoc characters for Han. 

I won't say some sort of generative mechanism will never become the preferred 
way of handling unencoded ideographs, but there is a lot of work to be done 
before that would be practical.
