An apparatus for recording on and/or reproducing from a recording medium such as a disc-shaped recording medium having a code area in which character code data for displaying character information associated with the information recorded in a recording area on a display portion or the like can be recorded includes an input portion, conversion portion, and a recording and/or reproducing portion. Plural pieces of character information of different kinds are input through the input portion. The conversion portion converts each character of the character information input from the input portion into character code data. The conversion portion adds an identifier to the character code data during the conversion. The identifier indicates that a character string in the character information input by the input portion consists of kana characters unlike the character string precedent thereto. The recording and/or reproducing portion receives the character code data from the conversion means and records and/or reproduces information and character code data on and/or from the recording medium.
