Since the list is now utf-8 instead of latin-1 encoded, we could include 
the actual native character name, if supplied, in parentheses after the 
English-alphabetized transliteration.

If we were to follow native rules, all Japanese names, for instance, 
should be separately listed and ordered according to the Japanese order, 
which is quite different from the European orders.
