When I 'do shell script' and the file name includes a non-ASCII character,
even when I first coerce the file path with 'as Unicode text' the shell
errors that it can't find any such file or directory. For example, if the
file name includes the paragraph-mark symbol made (on a US keyboard) by
typing option-7 (it will get mangled by the list server if I try it here),
zsh complains that it can't find any file - and it substitutes "\M-&" for
the option-7 character. So it's reading it as "\M-&" from my script, but
reading it differently from the file system.
Is there something i can do about this?
