If you use UTF8 with Unix line ending semantics (LF - though CRLF (Dos/Windows)
would probably work), Unix diff will work. Since it has no knowledge of
Unicode, stuff that involves character counts and stuff (like --side-by-
side) won't work right, but UTF8 is designed to preserve all the line ending
and ASCII semantics diff depends on.
