Character processor

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To facilitate selecting a desired character, by outputting the second characters with a predetermined number as the unit when the second characters such as homophonic Kanji (Chinese character) are output. CONSTITUTION: Reading of the original is input by the operation of, for example, Hiragana (Japanese cursive syllabary) keys. At this time, the Kanji (Chinese character) shift key is operated for positions where data should be by converted to Kanji (Chinese character) and be input, and then, sentences with Kanji (Chinese character) mixed are displayed as shown in the figure. In case that two sets of homophonic Kanji (Chinese character) exist in this processing, they are displayed with brackets, for example, as "KI.TO (AA'.[BB'])" in the figure [Japanese "KI.TO" have two meaning as "home ward (AA')" and "attempt (BB')"]. In case that three or more sets of homophonic Kanji (Chinese character) exist, they are displayed, for example, as "I.KO(CC'. [DD'])" in the figure [Japanese "I.KO" have several meaning as " on and after (CC')" "authority (DD')" "intention (EE')" and "translation (FF')]. For selecting required Kanji (Chinese character), cursor symbol CC is moved to the position of "C" of display "CC'". Since Kanji (Chinese character to be selected is "FF", the NO key is operated. Then, "DD'[EE']" is displayed. Thus, the NO key is operated until a desired character is diaplayed; and when the desired character is displayed, the YES key is operated to select "FF'".
