10. An electronic device comprising: a processor apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory having stored therein a plurality of objects comprising a plurality of characters, at least some of the characters being in an active character set and others at least initially being in an inactive character set; an input apparatus structured to provide input to the processor apparatus; and the memory further having stored therein a number of routines which, when executed on the processor, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising: detecting an input of a particular character in the inactive character set and not included in the active character set; updating the active character set to include the new character as part of the active character set; detecting an ambiguous text input; and employing the updated active character set in disambiguating the ambiguous text input.
