Looks like it actually depends on the encoding of the _output_. So if it
can print some lines well but not others it can even print a line from a
file and then later say it's a binary:
$ grep "prem" latin1.txt
premie?re is slightly different
Binary file latin1.txt matches
Adding -a or prepending 'LC_ALL=C' changes that:
$ LC_ALL=C grep "prem" latin1.txt
premi�re is first
premie?re is slightly different
So... looks like Grep searches through all files anyway. Just modifies
its output in cases where it looks iffy.

Judging by a small experiment, rg's output is in the same encoding as
input, for each file. Which can be a nuisance when looking at the search
results, but that's probably all.
In any case, if one takes the pre-processing route, the end encoding
will be UTF-8.
