Emacs cannot "deal" with that, because the encoding emitted by
hunspell can be anything (it depends on the encoding used by the
dictionary, among other things).

The fact that byte offsets are reported is a bug in hunspell (for
which you can find a patch in the hunspell bug tracker).  You can also
find the patch here:

Fix hunspell with one of the patches for this bug.  That's the only
way that will work reliably.
