There's no inherent limit imposed by CAS on allowed characters.

CAS ships with UTF-8 encoding by default, so you shouldn't have to
explicitly handle UTF-8 encoding. It's possible you have custom
configuration that's overriding the default behavior. See
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Internationalization for more
information.

LDAP protocol encoding happens in the Sun/Oracle JNDI components. I
don't have any evidence that that particular case is covered, but
based on experience with other JNDI parts I'm fairly certain all
encoding is performed correctly. Sun tends to be very strict in
protocol compliance generally, and JNDI is no exception in my
experience.
