Please read [Read before posting: How do I get my question answered?](https://fenicsproject.discourse.group/t/read-before-posting-how-do-i-get-my-question-answered/21)

In particular, your code is not properly formatted (not included in a “```” block), and not reproducible.

The general suggestion is not to use meshio, and rely on `dolfinx.io.gmshio.read_from_msh`.
