Your clients are probably broken. For LDAPv2 the character set is T61; with 
LDAPv3 it is UTF-8. If it worked before, it must have been because both 
your client and server incorrectly used Latin-1.
For Netscape Navigator 4.x (don't know about 6.x) you can specify the 
charset to use in the prefs.js file:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.<SERVERNAME>.csid", "UTF-8");
