No, and that one of the main problems that the CDN community faces. 
In the ISO/IEC 10646 repertoire (which is the same as the Unicode 
repertoire), it is impossible to differentiate between Chinese 
characters and Korean characters and Japanese characters. Thus, any 
proposal to remove the characters for one language removes them for 
all.
