It helps to use a shell that is in UTF-8.

I.e., use a UTF-8 friendly shell that has something like:

   LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8

and avoid a shell that uses something like:

   LANG=ja_JP.eucJP

 

That is, simply set and export it for the length of your shell script...

#!/bin/sh
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
export LANG
...
