800678839 MDU6SXNzdWU4MDA2Nzg4Mzk= 4859 Unicode strings unexpectedly transformed to byte strings upon `open_dataset` kripnerl 38673295 closed 0     7 2021-02-03T20:34:27Z 2021-11-20T17:58:34Z 2021-11-20T17:58:34Z NONE      

What happened:

Unicode coordinates convert to bytes after saving/loading with h5netcdf backend. This results with the practically unusable dataset (bytes != string).

What you expected to happen:

Load the string as a string.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example:

```python coils = np.array(["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"]) data = np.array([1 + 1j, 1 + 2j, 3j, 4j, 6j])

test_ds = xr.Dataset() test_ds.coords["coils"] = coils test_ds["data"] = ("coils", data) test_ds

<xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (coils: 5) Coordinates: * coils (coils) <U1 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D' 'E' Data variables: data (coils) complex128 (1+1j) (1+2j) 3j 4j 6j

test_ds.to_netcdf("test.nc", engine="h5netcdf") del test_ds test_ds = xr.open_dataset("test.nc", engine="h5netcdf") test_ds

<xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (coils: 5) Coordinates: * coils (coils) object b'A' b'B' b'C' b'D' b'E' Data variables: data (coils) complex128 ...

```
