files to be grouped together and all Checklists easily seen on your USB flash drive when you are
loading the Checklist into your SkyView display.
Although you can use mixed case in the Checklist filename, when selecting and
loading your Checklist file onto SkyView, the Checklist filename will be displayed in
UPPERCASE.
When a Checklist file is (correctly) saved with “UTF-8 Character Encoding”, any
character will be accepted in the text of a Checklist (no error displayed). However,
some “unusual” characters may not be displayed. All characters generated on a
(Windows) keyboard, except the | character (shifted \), have been verified to
display in a Checklist, as well as the following characters: € ‡ Œ • ¥ § © ® ° ± ¹ ² ³ »
¼ ½ ¾ × Ø ß ÷ ø Œ œ “ ” –
The following characters are (incorrectly) displayed as a box symbol: µ ˄ ˅ β
If a Checklist file is saved using another “Character Encoding” standard, such as “ANSI” (the
default for Windows Notepad), use of certain characters will cause SkyView to not allow the file
to be loaded (see Figure 235 below).
