Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable medium includes a character input system including a first band-shaped key area displayed including the characters of character groups including representative characters lined up one by one. When a touch point is detected in this area, a second band-shaped key area is displayed including the characters of the group including the representative characters lined up at that detection position. When movement of a touch point from the first band-shaped key area to the second band-shaped key area is detected, a band-shaped candidate area is displayed including candidate character strings matching the characters in a line at that movement position. These areas are arranged in the width direction and with their orientations aligned. When the touch point disappears after moving from the second band-shaped key area to the band-shaped candidate area, the candidate character string displayed at that disappearance position is confirmed as the input character string.
