    Let \(q\) be a prime power and \(F_{4}(q)\) be the Chevalley group of type \(F_{4}\) over a finite field with \(q\) elements. \textit{R. M. Marcelo} and \textit{K. Shinoda} [Tokyo J. Math. 18, No. 2, 303--340 (1995; Zbl 0869.20005)] determined the values of the unipotent characters of \(F_{4}(q)\) on all unipotent elements, extending earlier work by \textit{N. Kawanaka} [Osaka J. Math. 12, 523--554 (1975; Zbl 0314.20031)] and \textit{G. Lusztig} [Characters of reductive groups over a finite field. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press (1984; Zbl 0556.20033)] to small characteristics. In the paper under review, the author, assuming \(q=2^{n}\), shows how to construct explicitly the complete character table of \(F_{4}(q)\).
