I do know from experience that it works for embedded nulls
(Binary) nulls are definitely not possible in file names - Dirk mentioned that already. File names can consist of *any* character except the directory separator ('/' on Linux), and the binary Null (because that is the string termination character). I.e., a file name can very well include unusual characters like a newline character, or any other binary or otherwise non-printable character. The problem for passing such names to command line tools like rm arises when your keyboard doesn't have a key for it. E.g. my keyboards don't have German umlauts, but hitting TAB to trigger bash's tab-completion feature helps in most of the cases.
