a converted data display step of a makeup display data processing unit processing converted character data so as to display the character data on a display.

2. A method of controlling a character makeup terminal, comprising:

a gesture sensing data storage step of storing gesture sensing data including one or more of touch gesture sensing data sensed by a touch gesture sensor and obtained by analyzing a pattern of a movement trajectory of a touch using a touch gesture recognizer and motion gesture sensing data sensed by a motion gesture sensor and obtained by analyzing a pattern of a movement trajectory of a terminal motion using a motion gesture recognizer, in a data storage unit;

a character makeup setting data reading step of reading character makeup setting data, set in accordance with a predetermined pattern of the movement trajectory of the touch or a predetermined pattern of the movement trajectory of the terminal motion, from the data storage unit with respect to the gesture sensing data including one or more of the touch gesture sensing data and the motion gesture sensing data;

a character makeup data conversion step of a gesture makeup controller converting character data depending on the character makeup setting data read at the character makeup setting data reading step; and

a converted data display step of a makeup display data processing unit processing converted character data so as to display the character data on a display.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising a character makeup data transfer step of displaying the character data on the display and allowing a message conversion unit to convert the character data into text message data and transfer the text message data by processing a selection input signal on a transfer window.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the character makeup data transfer step comprises a mark-up processing step of converting the text message data converted from the character data for character makeup into an abbreviated transfer language.

5. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

a character display step of displaying characters including a target character that is a target of character makeup on the display; and

a conversion target selection step of storing information about selection of the target character that is the target of character makeup among the characters displayed on the display in a DB.
