CSS font stack names in multiple character sets

E.g. for Korean, the "Dotum" font name is also written as "돋움". Is it necessary to use a font stack such as the following:

body {
   font-family: "돋움", "Dotum", sans-serif;
}

This would presumably account for users who have the Korean-named version installed, but not the Romanized-name version, and vice-versa.

If this is the case, should "Dotum" fall back to "돋움" or the other way around?

EDIT for clarity:

Is it necessary to specify both the Korean-named version and the Roman-named version of a given Korean font in a font-stack? Follow up: Which version is more common?

Either way, basically the code will first check for 돋움 and then proceed with Dotum. Hence why you include sans-serif at the end, this means if it doesn't find any of the suggested fonts it will simply use any sans-serif font.
