Geora:

Your waiting is only 6 months.  It  has been the concern for 
at least last 10 years in the CJK community.  It is also the 
concern that many computer researchers in China have been 
debated and researched during the whole 1980's.   The key 
of the words you may find mostly under the subject of "sorting 
of Chinese characters".   If there is an easy answer to it, then 
we are only discussing another MIME.  

If you don't believe the complexity, you are wellcomed to joint 
the test run at realname.com or  Verisign.com.  Please follow
Tedd's pointer.
