Abstract: The present invention provides a character input device that can display character input information on a display screen with a small area and allows a user to input a desired character by a simple operation even in a case where it is necessary to select the desired character from plural characters to input the desired characters. 
     In a character selection area shown in  FIG. 6A , at the upper side of a cross of a cross-shaped figure, a circle is added to a character of "NA" and characters of "NA" series are selected. A ∇ mark is added to a lower part of the circle added to the character of "NA" and a Δ mark is added to an upper part of the circle. By pressing any one of an upward direction and a downward direction of a cross key, the characters can be selected. If the upward direction of the cross key is pressed, the character of "NI" is selected. In this case, the character of "NI" is displayed, instead of the character of "NA" as shown in  FIG 6B .
