is the unihan character frequency worth displaying? #151

Currently we include the value of the unihan kFrequency field for a character in the popup output.

According to the unihan database, this is: "A rough frequency measurement for the character based on analysis of traditional Chinese USENET postings; characters with a kFrequency of 1 are the most common, those with a kFrequency of 2 are less common, and so on, through a kFrequency of 5."

We display this in parentheses after the pronunciation. Is it worthwhile? If so, what additional information should we display to the user for context?
