I'm not sure I understand exactly what problems this solution would
take care of. How long can a hiragana word be? The entire word (plus
the "view" index) would be the key when looking up the display bitmap,
which seems pretty much like using any variable-bytesize character set
to represent Kanji. Is this representation particularly suited to
sorting and/or searching Japanese text?
