French character use in user defined Attribut or Class name

["Jimmy Beaulieu/ssigri/sct" <Jimmy.Beaulieu@sct.gouv.qc.ca>]

Im currently testing openldap to see if it's a suitable solution for our
futur directory.

One of the point that I need to look at is, if openldap support french
character (é,è,ù,ç) in a user defined Attribut or class.
So far, with the preliminary test that I've done I would say that it dont
support internationnal character, but only english ones, probably because
of the UTF-8 standard.

in bref, my questions are:

     - Does openldap or ldap in general support french or internationnal
character in user defined Attribut and class???
     - If it does: How can it be done??
     - if it does'nt: Why??
     - Finally, can someone point me to some information on that particular
subject??


Thanks Jimmy
