When a zfs file system is mounted, it looks like a normal unix file system, i.e., a tree of files where intermediate nodes are directories and leaf nodes may be directories or regular files. In other words, ls gives you the same kind of output you would expect on any unix file system. As to whether a file/directory name is text or binary, that depends on the name used when creating the file/directory. As far as the meta-data used to maintain the file system tree, most of this is compressed. But your question makes me wonder if you have tried zfs. If so, then I really am not sure what you are asking. If not, maybe you should try it out...
