I'm not sure what this locale implies as local charset.
Attribute 'uid' is of syntax Directory String.

IMO it's rather an issue with client configuration. How did you 
provide this input data? Which client you were using? If you use 
the ldapadd/ldapmodify command-line tool how did you generate the 
LDIF needed? It MUST contain attribute values of syntax 
DirectoryString encoded as UTF-8 (or better UTF-8 encoded Unicode 
wrapped in base64-encoding).

Maybe you could try with a decent GUI-based LDAP client first 
which has proper handling of charsets?

Ciao, Michael.
