Yes it can.  But it needs to know the encoding is in utf-8 but it needs to 
know the file is in UTF-8.  Aspell ignores the locale when reading in data 
files.  To tell Aspell that the personal dictionary is in UTF-8 use the 
append the encoding on the first line of the file.  See
   http://aspell.net/man-html/Format-of-the-Personal-and-Replacement-Dictionaries.html

But that's not going to help.  The character he is trying to add is simply 
not allowed in a word for the given language.  I do not have time to 
explain why this is or how to workaround it.
