Re: when will HDF5 support Unicode?

NOTE: The netcdf-hdf mailing list is no longer active. The list archives are made available for historical reasons.

We've had several discussions of UTF-8 support.  The current ideas are
incorporated in a RFC at:

  http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/Unicode/Unicode.html

Close reading of this RFC will indicate that we know how to support
UTF-8 for user data, but support for UTF-8 for names is still TBD.
