摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for handling character data including a variant character at a fixed length.SOLUTION: A computer executes processing of: detecting whether variant character information is included in an input character data string; and when variant character information is detected from the input character data string, converting the variant character information into extended expression data which includes a basic character associated with the variant character information and the variant character information and can be converted into the basic character by specific bit arithmetic processing.
