Abstract
When an input section is actuated by a user, a character is inputted, and a storage section stores therein the inputted character. On this occasion, when the inputted character is a vowel character, a control section causes the storage section to store therein the inputted vowel character and an intonation associated therewith. In a case where a vowel character identical to the inputted vowel character is successively inputted by the input section, the control section causes the storage section to store therein the vowel character and the initial intonation in association with each other, for a first input. At second and subsequent inputs, the control section does not cause the storage section to store therein the identical vowel character anew, but it alters only the intonation associated with the vowel character which has been already stored in the storage section.

16. A character inputting apparatus for Chinese Pinyin input, comprising:
-
input means for making an input of a character;
storage means for storing therein the inputted character; and
control means for causing when the inputted character is a vowel character, the storage means to store therein the inputted vowel character and its intonation associated therewith, wherein, when a vowel character identical to the inputted vowel character is successively inputted by the input means, the control means alters only the intonation associated with the vowel character stored in compliance with a first one of the successive inputs, without causing the storage means to store therein the inputted vowel character anew, in compliance with second and subsequent inputs.
