The issue is that the behavior has to be different between cases where
the shell is reading input from the terminal and gets NFC characters
that need to be converted to NFD (which is how HFS+ and APFS store them)
and when the shell is reading input from a file and doesn't need to (and
should not) do anything with NFD characters.

Does iconv work when taking NFD input that came from the file system and
trying to convert it to NFD (UTF-8-MAC)? I've honestly never checked.
