C-1: How can I input Japanese?

The following Japanese input systems are prepared:

• TAMAGO (or EGG) version TAKANA
• sj3-egg
• Canna

All of them offer a Japanese input facility using a romaji-kanji conversion method, which utilises a network conversion server. For details, refer to the manuals of each system. When building Mule you have to set up to use these systems, or they will not work.

• T-CODE input using quail

This requires no conversion server. After loading lisp/quail/tcode, you can toggle between ASCII and T-CODE mode by C-]. (CAUTION: quail/tcode.el will soon be replaced with tc-mule.el.)

Japanese can be input with "SKK", too. SKK requires no special settings when Mule is built. It can be used both as a closed system in Mule and as a system which communicates with a dictionary server.
