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.
