Hi Martijn,
I had changed my Solaris locale setting to zh_CN.UTF-8. I modified the /etc/default/init LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 and reboot. initdb a new database used the encoding UTF8, but the sort order is wrong on the Solaris.
I guess the encoding of UTF-8 support is not stable right now in PostgreSQL. But, on my windows box, 8.1.4 handle the utf8 sorting good. What can I do now? waiting for some kind of patch?

A locale can only handle one charset, usually the one given by "locale
charset". So if it handles sorting in GB18030 then by definition it
can't handle UTF-8.

The locale is not a global setting. If you set the LANG or LC_ALL
variable, it will change the locale of any program run with that
environment variable. The default is the "C" locale.
Have a nice day,
