Point of terminology: Linux is the kernel, everything you say below
here is talking about particular programs. From what I understand,
bash (just another Unix program) treats strings as sequences of
codepoints, just as Python does; though its string manipulation is not
nearly as rich as Python's, so it's harder to prove. Python is itself
a Unix program, so you can do the exact same proofs and demonstrate
that Linux is clearly Unicode-aware. It's not Linux you're testing.
