APPARATUS FOR OUTPUTTING A CHARACTER COMPOSED OF BASIC SYMBOLS

A character composed of basic symbols such as a Korean character is outputted by an apparatus so as to adjust to an outputted design or outputted design alteration. The apparatus includes an input device for inputting a plurality of binary codes, each binary code corresponding to a respective one of the basic symbols; an output device for outputting the character; a detecting circuit for detecting an indication code for supplying a space character from among the binary codes; a first calculating circuit for calculating the number of basic symbols; a converting circuit for converting the number of characters into a number of outputted units with respect to the size of the basic symbols; a second calculating circuit for calculating the supplying number of space characters by subtracting the number of outputted units from the number of basic symbols; and a supplying circuit for supplying a space character code to the output device, the number of space character codes being equivalent to the supplying number, the supplying circuit operated on or after an indication code has been detected by the detecting circuit. It is possible for the apparatus to output an output data representing Korean characters, space characters and other basic symbols, the output data being in accordance with an input data representing Korean alphabet symbols and other basic symbols.
