grep and UNICODE (utf-16) file
I'm using shell scripting in Applescript. When searching a file with the ANSEL character set (for GEDCOM files) using (grep '1 CHAR ANSEL' filepath) gives the expected result. When searching a UNICODE formatted file (utf-16), searching for text known to exist in the file using (grep '1 CHAR UNICODE' filepath) does not find the string in the file.
How can I grep this UNICODE file? Thanks in advance.

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
