At it's simplest: Lots of apps return results as type Unicode text. What
happens if I throw that at these Unix utilities, or do I have to coerce them
to something else first? IOW, what do I have to do before I can use them.

Ditto for plain text that really isn't. And will the sorting order for
things like accented caps match that used by the Mac's old sort routines?
