What about glob patterns:

    mfabian@example.com:~/filenames$ bash
    mfabian@example.com:~/filenames$ touch 貴社 の 記者 が 汽車 で 帰社 しますした。
    mfabian@example.com:~/filenames$ ls
    が  しますした。  で  の  帰社  汽車  記者  貴社
    mfabian@example.com:~/filenames$ ls [汽帰]*
    帰社  汽車
    mfabian@example.com:~/filenames$ zsh
    mfabian@example.com ~/filenames$ ls
    が  しますした。  で  の  帰社  汽車  記者  貴社
    mfabian@example.com ~/filenames$ ls [汽帰]*
    zsh: no matches found: [\M-f\M-1\M-=\M-e\M-8\M-0]*
    mfabian@example.com ~/filenames$ locale
    LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE=POSIX
    LC_MONETARY="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=
    mfabian@example.com ~/filenames$ 

both bash and zsh are running in UTF-8 locale in this example. 

It doesn't help if you do that in an (X)Emacs shell buffer.  It
doesn't work with zsh even if running in an (X)Emacs shell buffer.
