It’s really only command languages that might have trouble, not proper
programming languages.
 
And even a command language like bash has facilities that can take this

A lot of GNU tools have ways of using \0 for input/output, for example:

_[/home/vallor/OS/linux-6.14.5]_(vallor@lm)🐧_
$ find . -type f -print0 | grep -z " " | tr "\0" "\n"
./tools/testing/selftests/devices/probe/boards/Dell Inc.,XPS 13 9300.yaml
