Abstract

A method of generating a character set is provided, including: receiving two bytes of a character code value and determining whether or not the character code value is greater than a predetermined reference value; adding a predetermined offset value to the character code value and outputting the resultant value if the character code value is greater than the predetermined reference value, and outputting the character code value if the character code value is not greater than the predetermined reference value; and adding null data to the end of a character string consisting of the character code value after the character code value is input.

Claims

1. A method of generating a character set, comprising:

receiving two bytes of a character code value and determining whether or not the character code value is greater than a predetermined reference value;

adding a predetermined offset value to the character code value and outputting the resultant value if the character code value is greater than the predetermined reference value, and outputting the character code value if the character code value is not greater than the predetermined reference value; and

adding null data to the end of a character string consisting of the character code value after the character code value is input.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the character code value is a Unicode value, and the predetermined reference value is ‘

0x0080’

.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the offset value is ‘

0x8000’

, and the null data is ‘

0x00’

.

4. A computer readable medium recording a program executing in a computer the method of claim 1.

5. An apparatus for generating a character set, comprising:

a determination part receiving two bytes of a character code value and determining whether or not the character code value is greater than a predetermined reference value;

a conversion part adding a predetermined offset value to the character code value and outputting the resultant value if the character code value is greater than the predetermined reference value; and

an output part adding null data to the end of a character string consisting of the character code value after the character code value is input and outputting the character string.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, further including a character processing part processing and displaying the character string.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the character code value is a Unicode value, and the predetermined reference value is ‘

0x0080’

.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the offset value is ‘

0x8000’

, and the null data is ‘

0x00’

.
