Character processing method and terminal

The embodiment of the invention discloses a character processing method and a terminal, wherein the method comprises the following steps of: receiving a pressing operation input by aiming at an editing region to be displayed on a screen, wherein characters to be displayed on the screen are displayed in the editing region to be displayed on the screen; detecting the pressure value of the pressing operation, and judging whether the pressure value of the pressing operation is greater than a preset pressure threshold value or not; if so, detecting a sliding operation input by aiming at the editing region to be displayed on the screen, and detecting a target sliding track of the sliding operation; finding a target character editing instruction corresponding to the target sliding track according to a corresponding relationship between the preset sliding track and the character editing instruction; and executing the found target character editing instruction by aiming at the characters to be displayed on the screen displayed in the editing region to be displayed on the screen. After the character processing method and the terminal are used, the processing efficiency of the terminal on the characters to be displayed on the screen is improved.
