+In this step, we have determined that the built-in angular display filters ({@link
+angular.filter.number number}, {@link angular.filter.currency currency}, {@link
+angular.filter.date date}, etc.) don't handle what we want to do, so we get to create our own
+custom {@link angular.filter filter}.
+
+In the previous step, the details page displayed either "true" or "false" to indicate whether
+certain phone features were present or not. Our custom "checkmark" filter replaces those text
+strings with glyphs: ✓ for "true", and ✘ for "false".
+
+Our filter code lives in `app/js/filters.js`:
+
+__`app/index.html`:__
+<pre>
+...
+ <script src="lib/angular/angular.js" ng:autobind></script>
+ <script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
+ <script src="app/js/filters.js"></script>
+...
+</pre>
+
+In the phone details template, we employ our filter for angular expressions whose values are
+"true" or "false"; `{{ [phone_feature] | checkmark }}`:
+
+__`app/partials/phone-detail.html`:__
+<pre>
+<img ng:src="{{phone.images[0].large}}" class="phone"/>
+<h1>{{phone.name}}</h1>
+<p>{{phone.description}}</p>
+...
+<ul class="specs">
+ ...
+ <li>
+ <span>Connectivity</span>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>Network Support</dt>
+ <dd>{{phone.connectivity.cell}}</dd>
+ <dt>WiFi</dt>
+ <dd>{{phone.connectivity.wifi}}</dd>
+ <dt>Bluetooth</dt>
+ <dd>{{phone.connectivity.bluetooth}}</dd>
+ <dt>Infrared</dt>
+ <dd>{{phone.connectivity.infrared | checkmark}}</dd>
+ <dt>GPS</dt>
+ <dd>{{phone.connectivity.gps | checkmark}}</dd>
+ </dl>
+ </li>
+...
+</ul>
+</pre>
+
+__`app/js/filters.js`:__ (New)
+<pre>
+angular.filter('checkmark', function(input) {
+ return input ? '\u2713' : '\u2718';
+});
+</pre>
+
+__`test/unit/filtersSpec.js`:__ (New)
+<pre>
+describe('checkmark filter', function() {
+
+ it('should convert boolean values to unicode checkmark or cross', function() {
+ expect(angular.filter.checkmark(true)).toBe('\u2713');
+ expect(angular.filter.checkmark(false)).toBe('\u2718');
+ });
+})
+</pre>
+
+## Discussion:
+
+* This example shows how easy it is to roll your own filters for displaying data. As explained in
+the "Writing your own Filters" section of the {@link angular.filter angular.filter} page, you
+simply register your custom filter function on to the `angular.filter` function.
+
+* In this example, our filter name is "checkmark"; our input is either "true" or "false", and we
+return one of two unicode characters we have chosen to represent true or false (`\u2713` and
+`\u2718`).
+
+* We created a new unit test to verify that our custom filter converts boolean values to unicode
+characters.
