multi-byte utf8 characters in DNs

[Chris Card]

[I tried searching the docs for the answer without much luck, so apologies if 
I've missed it]
Does openldap (2.4.26) support DNs containing utf8 multi-byte characters?
e.g. a DN containing é like cn=été,dc=a,dc=b ?
If not, what's the recommended way of handling such DNs?
