ABSTRACT:
The character printing apparatus according to the present invention, in which an input character string is printed on a print medium, includes: eligible-subject-component-character displaying means for displaying an eligible subject component character; subject-component-character selecting means for selecting a desired subject component character out of the eligible subject component characters; display control means for storing the desired subject component character, and causing a display portion to display a control symbol representing that the desired subject component character is inputted and an input position for an object component character in such a manner that the input position for an object component character is located immediately after the control symbol; judging means for judging, when a character to be combined with the subject component character is inputted, whether or not the input character is a character allowed to be combined with the subject component character; composing means for preparing a composite symbol by causing, when it is judged that the input character is a character allowed to be combined with the subject component character, the character thus judged to be displayed at the input position for an object component character as an object component character, and developing both a dot pattern of the subject component character stored in the input buffer and a dot pattern of the object component character in the same font developing area; and composite-symbol printing means for printing the composite symbol thus prepared.
