title: grepping binary files and UTF16
body: <p>Standard <code>grep</code>/<code>pcregrep</code> etc. can conveniently be used with binary files for ASCII or UTF8 data - is there a simple way to make them try UTF16 too (preferably simultaneously, but instead will do)?</p>
  
  <p>Data I'm trying to get is all ASCII anyway (references in libraries etc.), it just doesn't get found as sometimes there's 00 between any two characters, and sometimes there isn't.</p>
  
  <p>I don't see any way to get it done semantically, but these 00s should do the trick, except I cannot easily use them on command line.</p>
