What happens if instead of 'cat readme.txt' one does 'strings -a --unicode=hex readme.txt'? Does iTerm still monkey with it?

    alias cat
    cat='strings -a --unicode=hex'

The whole "cat can hide unprintable characters" is such an old demo. I get this is a novel spin on which unprintable characters were doing but yeah, this was also my thought

		I'm just used to aliasing cat to strings after working around a lot of red-team penetration testers. They would prank each other and me all the time. Had to also watch out for this one [1]. [1] - https://thejh.net/misc/website-terminal-copy-paste
