Data is set for displaying the dakuten "" on the dakuten or semi-dakuten dedicated display part b25.

In "step S5", no dakuten or half-dakuten is added to the display character of the last display digit (b12 in the first line of this example) of the message data for one line to be displayed, that is, after the digit b12. If it is determined that the character to be displayed on the screen is not the dakuten or the semi-dakuten, "step S
Go to 8 "and set the data to break the display position of the message data.

After setting the data for displaying the voiced or semi-voiced sound on the display part b25 dedicated to the voiced or semi-voiced sound in the above-mentioned "step S6", the process proceeds to "step S7" and a character indicating the digit position of the message display character is displayed. Pointer P
The process of incrementing by one digit is executed. That is, in this case, the next digit position of the message display character is the second digit position.
It is the first digit of the line.

In the process of "step S7", after the character pointer P is incremented by one, and "step S7"
In the process of 8 ", after setting the data for breaking the display position, the process proceeds to" step S9 "to determine whether or not the message data to be displayed next remains. If the message data to be processed remains, the process returns to "step S2" and the processes from "step S2" to "step S8" are repeated, but if there is no message data to be displayed next, the process returns to "step S10". move on.

In the example of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, since there is a message character "Sai" to be displayed after the line feed on the second line, the process returns from "Step S9" to "Step S2". Data is set to display the message character "Sai" on the second line, and after the display of all messages is completed, the process proceeds to "step S10". When the CPU 4 finishes setting the message data to be displayed on the display unit 7, it stores the display data in the display buffer 5 in "step S10" and drives the display driver 6 to display the message character (in this example). Then, "Goko 3
The display processing operation is terminated.
