Unicode and Support for UTF-8
Unicode is a character set containing all the characters of all the world's major languages.
There are different standard methods to encode Unicode, including UCS-2, which is NT's
Unicode version, and UTF-8, the version of Unicode specified by version 3 of the LDAP
protocol.
The Directory Server and associated applications use UTF-8 in versions 2 and 3 of LDAP.
Most software included in the Directory Server uses UTF-8 internally and at interfaces
other than LDAP (for example, in command-line parameters and LDIF files).
NOTE
Netscape Communicator and Netscape browsers support UTF-8.
