UNIX filenames cannot contain '\0' bytes, so you're safe. (There are only two characters disallowed in UNIX filenames: the path separator '/' and zero-bytes '\0'. Everything else is allowed, including backspaces, newlines and all other kinds of nasty control codes. find -print0 | xargs -0 will handle all of them fine.)
