[svn-r10785] Purpose:
Feature Description: Added "support" for UTF-8 character encoding. Solution: Wrote tests to check that UTF-8 can be used in a number of places in HDF5 (object names, data, etc.). These tests live in test/tunicode.c. Added a new UTF-8 character encoding for datatypes. Platforms tested: mir, modi4, heping Misc. update:
