As I get it, ffs is entirely "utf8 safe" because it is not encoding aware. With whatever locale commands $ touch `printf "\aabb\bc"` and $ touch `printf "\201\202\203"` succeed. (Interestingly, "ls | cat" in presence of filename with ASCII bell does not actually ring the bell, although backspace works as expected.) These octet arrays may happen to be valid utf-8 as well. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
