Actually, beyond getting stuff into UTF-8, that rationalization is bunk. Its so that encoding agnostic file systems (ahem, NFS) and things like strcmp work as consistently as can be expected(*) since they pass bytes straight through. File systems that care, like HFS, tend to validate and transform their inputs as necessary.
