I got your code to work by making some simple changes in the sortCodeFromRussian function:
Deven, I've been processing some bits of UTF-8, and something dawned on me that is probably known by the Unicode experts.

That avoids the NUL problem in sort. That means that russianLex() can return the UTF-8 of the string with your character conversions.
I think the replace command will work with UTF-8, so you can even avoid a character loop. All you need is 34 replaces and then a return. OK, that might actually be slower than a character loop.
