IMHO from the ldap point of view this is all totally valid. As long as 
it is encoded in UTF-8.
According to this
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/dd26/ldap.akbkhome.com/attribute/uid.html
the syntax of uid is Directory String which does not limit you either.

Your application using uid may or may not have stricter rules than that...
