Sorry, but you're right: it's not in scope.  The shell tool is intended for development and debugging, though some people use it to read and generate text files used elsewhere.  It doesn't make adjustments for the numerous platforms it has to run on, and doesn't understand Unicode.

I think you've highlighted a point where you need to use software which isn't included in the SQLite downloads.
