Yes it supports latin characters through the use of UTF-8.
And UTF-8 is part of the LDAP standard.

For first populating directories I use the following command lines in bash scripts :
$ iconv --from-code "ISO-8859-1" --to-code "UTF-8" --output file.encoded.ldif file.ldif
$ slapadd -v -l file.encoded.ldif
So as you see the solution is to use the iconv converter.
It is also possible to use libraries that handle those issues for you.
Anyway I have use French with no problem for developing and deploying
LDAP based applications.
