Point of terminology: Linux is the kernel, everything you say below here is talking about particular programs. From what I understand, bash (just another Unix program) treats strings as sequences of codepoints, just as Python does; though its string manipulation is not nearly as rich as Python's, so it's harder to prove. Python is itself a Unix program, so you can do the exact same proofs and demonstrate that Linux is clearly Unicode-aware. It's not Linux you're testing.
