 Named for historical reasons, the GECOS field is mandatory and is used to store extra information (such as the user's full name). Utilities such as finger or getent access this field to provide additional user information. For a personal account, this entry would consist of givenName and surname, for example Michael Eichenberger. These values are taken from the owners entry (ou=people). For a service account, the attribute sstDisplayName from the corresponding service would be used for the content of this attribute. Please be aware, that this attribute is a IA5String (OID=1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26) IA5 (almost ASCII) character set (7-bit). Does NOT allow extended characters e.g. é, Ø, å etc. The Self-Service interface automatically creates the content of this attribute. Consists of the uid and the domain stoney-wiki.com. For example: 3730083.stoney-wiki.com.

You can use:
~ $ echo "Tüpfelhyänenöhrchen" | iconv -f 'utf-8' -t 'ASCII//TRANSLIT'
which gives you:
Tuepfelhyaenenoehrchen
or:
iconv("UTF-8", "ASCII//TRANSLIT", "Tüpfelhyänenöhrchen")
