Are there any plans for adding UTF-16 and UTF-32 file support to grep?
No.I doubt whether it'd be worth the hassle, just as I doubt whether it'd be worth adding support for lots of similar but more-useful features (such as grepping through compressed files). However, I'm willing to be proved wrong by someone adding support in such a way that doesn't hurt performance for the more-common case.
