I'm a Chinese and had tried it. Because of the terminals do not suport
UTF-16 charaters you can't make certificates UTF-16 strings inside. To do
this, you must write your own program to call openssl's functions.

Try -nameopt oneline,utf8,-esc_msb
Also: -nameopt multiline,utf8-esc_msn,show_type which will show how the actual

UTF-8 *IS* perfectly valid Unicode
UTF-8 *IS* perfectly valid Unicode -- it's one of the main Unicode
encodings, and seems entirely appropriate for use in certs, although I
