AFAIR in 2004 openssl switched to UTF8 as default bitmask in certificate.
But ANSI extension's of utf8 support is still incomplete:
$ openssl x509 -text -in localhost-server.crt
Certificate:

(not attaching exanple certificate file because mail list seems to reject such letters)
displays utf8 symbol codes instead of expected human-readably letters (in this case — cyrillic), shown after import this certificate into browser's profile.
Probably adding -utf8 option for x509 command should fix this particular issue.
P.S. I use =dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1k amd64 build on Gentoo GNU/Linux.
