System Information
Operating system: windows7 64 Bits

Blender Version
Broken: 2.83.4 branch: master

Short description of error
When the Data File Format of the fluid is set to openvdb, it does not work properly in the folder with unicode.
Then the vdb file with unicode cannot be imported into blender.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
In order to ensure the normal display of unicode characters, I found some emoji as the path...
Path with emoji❤.zip
Files with emoji❤.vdb
The steps to implement this bug are to import this vdb file and check that the openvdbCache folder uploaded above did not generate density_0001.vdb correctly

It seems to work fine for me. Not sure if this is a windows-only issue or it I try to reproduce it incorrectly.
Can you provide a more precise step by step guide on how to reproduce the issue, please?

Unicode issues like this are basically always Windows only. On macOS and Linux the system uses UTF-8 natively and no extra code is needed to make it work.

Most likely OpenVDB itself needs to be fixed, though BLI_get_short_name as used for OpenColorIO can be a workaround.
