If you're in a unicode terminal, you may be able to just paste in the unicode
chars:
$ grep 'úø' unicode.txt
test chars: úø
Of course, this assumes the encoding of the terminal matches that of the files
that you're searching.
Echo should be a bit more predictable:
$ grep "$(echo -e '\xc3\xba\xc3\xb8')" unicode.txt
test chars: úø
You could also use perl or python or ruby:
$ python <<__eof__
import re
src = open('unicode.txt')
rx = re.compile(r'\xc3\xba\xc3\xb8')
for line in src:
if rx.search(line):
print line
__eof__
Lots more code, but possibly more useful if you are doing other processing.
