Unicode characters in tail and head

[Richard . Wossal]

Hello!

My question is the following:
Will there be a '-m' or '--chars' option for tail and head? Because, when
processing Unicode, the -c (--bytes) option isn't very useful.

Well, of course, it does what it should do - but I think it was designed with 
byte==char in mind (which is probably why it was called "-c").

Now I believe that tail/head should be able to process unicode, just like
wc does already - Unix (or Not Unix, for that matter) finally is all about 
text, not bytes, right?

With kind regards,

Richard Wossal

PS: I did some searching on this topic but I found no answer - if this was 
asked and answered before, I appologize for wasting your time.
