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 below).
