OpenLDAP 1.x, which implements LDAPv2, supports T.61 characters.
T.61 supports most western european languages. OpenLDAP 2.x,
which will implement LDAPv3, will suport UTF-8 encoded IS0
10646 characters. ISO 10646 is a superset of Unicode.

It's not recommended for general use nor is supported.

The Perl API (PerLDAP, Net::LDAP, Net::LDAPapi (deprecated))
will return the T.61 strings to your code... you can
do whatever you want with them. Perl has numerous modules
for translate strings between character sets.

ldapsearch does not attempt to write the native LDAP
characters to the terminal as most locales are not
T.61 compatible. You can disable this feature by using
the -B option or -L (LDIF).
Of course, I wouldn't bother with the command line tools
and opt to use the Perl LDAP APIs.
