Abstract
A code entry method obtains a desired character from one of a plurality of code-character conversion tables associated with different code systems in which one or more codes correspond to respective different characters and one or more characters are identified by different codes in the respective code systems. A code corresponding to the desired character in one of the plurality of code-character conversion tables is input. Different eligible characters identified by the input code in the respective plurality of code-character conversion tables are found, retrieved and displayed on a display screen. The desired character is selected from the displayed retrieved eligible characters. In one embodiment, only a first code-character conversion table contains the characters and the other code-character conversion tables identify the codes of the first code-conversion table corresponding to different codes of the other code-character conversion tables.
