SUMMARYIMEs (Input Method Editors) are dynamic-link libraries that allow users to type complex ideographic characters using a standard keyboard. IMEs are available in Asian versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system, and help minimize the effort needed by users to enter text containing characters from Unicode and double-byte character sets (DBCS). IMEs relieve users of the need to remember all possible character values. Instead, IMEs monitor the user's keystrokes, anticipate the character the user may want, and present a list of candidate characters from which to choose. MORE INFORMATION
Asian versions of Windows 3.1 and Windows NT each have a separate IME
application programming interface (API). However, these APIs have been
merged into a single API for Windows 95.
