Alphabetical Ordering with non-ASCII characters

This may be a GTK+ problem and not Thunar per se, but Thunar could mitigate this perhaps.

When I have file names, they seem to organize just fine within their own contexts. "A" before "B" and "김" before "박," but when I have non-ASCII characters show up in the filename, then Thunar sorts based on the first Latin letter it finds.

"김.mp3" should come before "박.mp3" and all seems fine, but if I have a file that is "김B.mp3" and a file that is "박A.mp3", then Thunar just looks at the "A" and the "B," ignores everything else before the Latin letters and then incorrectly puts "박A.mp3" before "김B.mp3".
