1. A Hangul character input program running on a computer for inputting a Hangul character that consists of an initial sound component and a medium sound component with or without a final sound component, said program comprising: a step for allowing a reference to an initial sound component table that stores initial sound components divided into groups, a medium sound component table that stores medium sound components divided into groups, a two-component Hangul character table that stores two-component Hangul characters, each of which is a combination of initial and medium sound components, that are divided into groups according to combinations of the group of the initial sound component and the group of the medium sound component, and a three-component Hangul character table that stores three-component Hangul characters, each of which is a combination of a two-component Hangul character and a final sound component, that are divided into groups according to the two-component Hangul character included therein; a first specifying step for specifying one group of initial sound components stored in said initial sound component table; a second specifying step for specifying one group of medium sound components stored in said medium sound component table; a third specifying step for specifying one of two-component Hangul characters extracted from said two-component Hangul character table in response to combinations of the initial sound components in the group specified at said first specifying step and the medium sound components in the group specified at said second specifying step, or specifying one group of the three-component Hangul characters among the groups extracted from said three-component Hangul character table in response to said two-component Hangul characters extracted from said two-component Hangul character table; and a fourth specifying step for specifying one of three-component Hangul characters included in the group of the three-component Hangul character specified at said third specifying step, said fourth specifying step being optionally executed when the group of the three-component Hangul character is specified at said third specifying step.
