*nix filenames are series of bytes, not UTF-8 (or anything else) strings. If a find replacement doesn't accept valid (parts of) filenames as input, it's a bit unfortunate.
If all you want to do is match against a sequence of bytes, sure. But when you want to start providing features like case-insensitivity, matching against file extensions, globbing, etc, then you have to declare what a given byte sequence actually represents, and that requires an encoding.

fd does that for English only. See the III/iii case in my comment; iii capitalizes to İİİ in Turkish, there's no way to have fd respect that.
