Abstract
A character-information conversion apparatus is configured to process character information including attribute information indicating a coding system and character codes conforming to the coding system and for converting the character codes into characters. The apparatus includes a key operation unit, an EEPROM, and a controlling unit. The key operation unit specifies a coding system to be applied to decode character codes conforming to a coding system other than a normally applied coding system. The EEPROM stores information indicating the coding system corresponding to the received input. The controlling unit refers to the attribute information and determines which coding system the character codes conforms to, converts the character codes into characters based on the information stored in the EEPROM when it is incapable of determining the coding system or when it is determined that the coding system differs from the normally applied coding system.
