To accommodate the large number of characters in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, applications that use these languages typically use an input method editor. An input method editor (IME) is a program that accepts a keystroke combination, displays double-byte characters, and lets the user select one of them (by using the mouse or the keyboard). An input method maps a sequence of keystrokes to double-byte characters.
Note: On Windows, OpenEdge does not provide its own input methods or IMEs. Rather, OpenEdge supports the input methods and IMEs that Microsoft supplies and those that fully support the Microsoft standard.
