Paraview VTKHDF Reader can not read utf8 strings
A file with the encoding:
HDF5 “test_file.hdf” {
GROUP “/” {
GROUP “VTKHDF” {
ATTRIBUTE “Type” {
DATATYPE H5T_STRING {
STRSIZE 16;
STRPAD H5T_STR_NULLTERM;
CSET H5T_CSET_UTF8;
CTYPE H5T_C_S1;
}
DATASPACE SCALAR
DATA {
(0): “UnstructuredGrid”
}
}
ATTRIBUTE “Version” {
DATATYPE H5T_STD_I64LE
DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 2 ) / ( 2 ) }
DATA {
(0): 1, 0
}
}
…
}
Will not be able to read the 'Type' attribute. I'm not sure if there is a Paraview limitation, or a limitation of the VTK reader.

Tested on Windows 11 using Paraview 1099 with MS-MPI.
