I don't think so. I never used XeTeX, but I think you have to declare a font for CJK, and switch btween those fonts if you switch writing systems. Look here: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_graphic.php?site_id=nrsi&type=graphic_in_html&title=Popup&filename=../sites/nrsi/media/xetex_sorting.png If we allowed all unicode symbols, be it in utf8 inputenc or XeTeX (which we do not support yet properly), this would ask for trouble, since neither in inputenc nor with XeTeX you can just insert any unicode char without further ado.
