The numbers Hnnnn are for Henshall's A Guide to Remembering … and the point is to construct a mnemonic tale with all 19 characters … preferrably one you can write down later with the kanji correct and legible. The '\u' numbers are the Unicode-16 values in hex.

Here is a web page with an image for the above.
