title: SQL Server's SoundEx function on non-Latin character sets?
body: <p>Does SQL Server's (2000) <strong>Soundex function work on Asian character sets</strong>? I used it in a query and it appears to have not worked properly but I realize that it could be because I don't know how to read Chinese...</p>
  
  <p>Furthermore, are there any other languages where the function might have trouble working on? (Russian for example)</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,<br>Frank</p>
