This page describes a set of tests included in version 1.05 of the GEDCOM file assess.ged (download - view). Details change between versions.
Area Summary
People with the surname "Encoding" have GEDCOM records that determine the character encoding capabilities of the target application.
These test use an OCCU tag. Many applications load the occupation text to a prominent location so using an OCCU makes it easy to review the results. The occupation text starts with the character and includes the Unicode code point and the character name.
If a character is not displayed as expected, the target application may not support the character, or its user interface may be using a font that does not support the problem character.

- If a target application displays the occupation text (or description) as follows, set the test result to "Supported":
€ (U+20AC) EURO SIGN
- For any other outcome, set the test result to "Imported Incorrectly" and describe the outcome in the comment.
