A character input apparatus includes a display device, list display control means, a storage device, operation means, and retrieval means. The list display control means displays selectable characters in a one-dimensional character list display area defined in a character input screen. The list display control means is configured to display a certain number of characters in the character list display area. The storage device stores dictionary data. The operation means selects and inputs one of the characters. The retrieval means retrieves a character string from the dictionary data. The list display control means displays only an associated character in the character list display area in accordance with a retrieval by the retrieval means. Here, the associated character may follow the character string that has been already inputted. The list display control means omits a display of an other character other than the associated character.
