[Paraview] questions

[John Doe]

Hello,

I am starting to evaluate paraview for a project and I am curious
about a few things:

File formats:

Does the vtk ascii format support unicode data set names?  If it
doesn't, is there a format that does?

Solution data on 2D meshes:

Does paraview allow you to display the magnitude of the solution data
as the third dimension?  If this is a filter, what is it called?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Juan
