Abstract
A character entry device comprises a keyboard having at least one specific key, a memory, and controls. When codes corresponding to particular characters are input through the keyboard, the memory is operable to store each of the particular characters in sequence in correspondence with the specific key. The controls are operable to be controlled such that, when the specific key is operated, the corresponding particular character is entered in accordance with the content of the memory. Thus, the device is capable of ensuring that a particular character which is not provided with a corresponding character key on the keyboard can be entered with a remarkably improved level of efficiency.
