Unicode order - or the beginning of unicode/ascii - just puntuations then 
numerals, isn't ideal either.

As far as I know simplified chinese (that's what you mean, right?) does not
have a special set of phonetic symbols like the Japanese kana's. For traditional
chinese in Taiwan, they do have a Mandarin-speaking based phonetic system called
bopomofo ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bopomofo ), if that's what you want.

Can't find a bopomofo pangram via google though...
