This message is sent to an application when the IME gets a character of the conversion result. Unlike the WM_CHAR message, this message can include double-byte as well as single-byte character values.

Syntax
chCharCode1 = (WORD) wParam;
lKeyData = lParam;
Parameters
chCharCode1 and chCharCode2
(For double-byte character sets) Single- or double-byte character value. For a double-byte character, chCharCode1 contains the lead byte.
chCharCode1
(For Unicode) Unicode character value.
lKeyData
Repeat count, scan code, extended-key flag, context code, previous key-state flag, and transition-state flag, as shown following:
| Value | Description |
| 0–15 | Repeat count: Since the first byte and second byte is continuous, this is always 1. |
| 16–23 | Scan Code: Scan code for a complete FE character. |
| 24–28 | Not used. |
| 29 | Context code. |
| 31 | Conversion state. |
Remarks
If the WM_IME_CHAR message includes a double-byte character and the application passes this message to DefWindowProc, the IME converts this message into two WM_CHAR messages, each containing one byte of the double-byte character.
