11.3 Unicode Names
Use of Unicode in names provides better support for international uses.
- Unicode, encoded using UTF-8, may be used for names of
variables, dimensions, attributes, groups, and types
- UTF-8 encoding is used, so all names that use only ASCII characters are backward
compatible
- This matches the new netCDF classic format feature.
