The names to try to get normalised from UTF-8 to homoglyphs, but I don't know how well it'd work for Chinese characters. Probably very badly.

If you're comfortable with X Terminal, I could send you some code so we can see what Facebook sends (in terms of bytes) and what Contacts reports (in terms of bytes).

BTW, if I register account to garage.maemo.org, could I snap the Hermes source code? If yes, maybe I could have chance to check this when I'm free...:P
To download it you don't even need a Garage account, just git pull from the master:

The current HEAD is in a bit of a broken state whilst Fredrik Wendt and I work on a large scale refactoring of the current services to better adapt to services which have had code hacked in like LinkedIn, Gravatar and Hyves; and future services like Plaxo, Orkut etc; however names.py is where identifier normalisation happens.
