You must be using OpenLDAP 1.x, hence LDAPv2 and T.61.
Given that very few terminals support T.61 (or UTF-8),
all our client tools will only output printable ASCII.
However, if you use LDIF (-L), you'll at least the base64
encoded value which you can do with as you please.

I also note that all input is assumed to be in the
appropriate character set for the protocol version in
use.
