EXPANDED CHINESE CHARACTER OUTPUT METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an extended Chinese character output method for reading and outputting one or a plurality of fixed form phrases including Chinese characters stored in a user's original dictionary which is prepared in advance on the basis of two alphabetic characters incompatible with a Japanese syllabary alphabet, while using a Roman character-to-Japanese character conversion method as it is. SOLUTION: A user's original dictionary memory is prepared which has two-dimensional addresses determined by each of first and second alphabetic characters for two alphabetic characters incompatible with a Japanese syllabary alphabet in the Roman character-to-Japanese character conversion method.When the two alphabetic characters excluding two alphabetic characters which may configure the Japanese syllabary alphabet with two alphabetic characters or more are input, one fixed form phrase or a plurality of fixed form phrases including Chinese characters stored in the address corresponding to the two alphabetic characters are read out without pressing a conversion key. One fixed form phrase is output and decided without depressing a selection-decision key. As for a plurality of fixed form phrases, one of them is output and decided by pressing the selection-decision key. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
