No

It seems to me that peerkat can only handle ASCII, i.e.
7bit, items rss files.

If fed with ISO-8859-1 peerkat will only include items
that have both 7bit titles and descriptions, and ignore
items that have 8bit chars in title or description.

If 8bit chars are converted to their HTML-encoded
equivalent (e.g., "ř" converted to "ø"),
peerkat will include the item but omit the converted
entity (i.e., "sćl" will become "sl").

If fed with UTF-8 encoded rss files, peerkat says the
whole rss is a bad feed.

What do I do?

(Sample RSS's attached, I hope.)
