The principal result of this paper is a characterisation of those commutative semigroups S which have the property that each character of each subsemigroup of S can be extended to a character of S. This work was partially inspired by the discovery that Theorem 5.65 of (1) is incorrect; it is related to that of Hill,who has obtained a different solution of the problem (2). Warne and Williams proved in (4) that any bounded character defined on an inverse subsemigroup of an inverse semigroup can be extended to the semigroup.
