Here is proposed documentation for what I am suggesting.

=item B<-passutf8>, B<-pass8bit>

These flags indicate the character set encoding on the password value.
By default, non-ASCII characters are rejected. This is new to OpenSSL 1.1.1,
and is used to enforce complains with the PKCS#12 standard.
If B<-passutf8> is given, then the password is taken to be valid UTF-8 encoding,
and will be used directly.
If B<-pass8bit> is given, the password is taken to be encoded in the current
locale, but is still used directly.
A future release might automatically convert the password to valid UTF-8
encoding if this flag is given.

    I think you forgot that this is not what I suggested.  One flag indicates 
it's utf-8 encoded, don't touch it.  The other flag indicates it might have 
high-bit chars, don't touch it.
