Abstract:
Embodiments provide a character input method and an electronic device. The method includes acquiring a character input instruction, and displaying candidate characters generated by the character input instruction. The method also includes acquiring a first instruction input by a user, where the first instruction is used to select at least one target candidate character in the candidate characters. The method also includes acquiring a sliding gesture input by the user, and determining, according to the sliding gesture, a sliding track corresponding to the sliding gesture, where the sliding track is a track formed by action points of the sliding gesture on an output device. The method also includes acquiring, according to the sliding track, a position that is selected by the user for inputting a character, and inputting the at least one target candidate character to the position that is selected by the user for inputting a character.
