Abstract
A Japanese character processing system containing a roman character keyboard containing a plurality of keys arranged in one or more rows. A first set of roman character consonants is provided in one row, a second set of roman character consonants is provided in a second row, and a set of roman character vowels is provided in a third row. The processing system converts a valid consonant-vowel combination into a corresponding Japanese character upon the entry of a valid consonant vowel combination and displays the Japanese character on a display device coupled to the processing system.
