Jen,<br><br>Thanks. As it happens I know Japanese and am familiar with those sorts of input methods. I've also created them for Carrier "syllabics". What most people prefer is the equivalent of typing in romaji - they use the roman system that most people who are now literate know and let the software transliterate that into syllabics. <br>
<br>What I am trying to find out is what the infrastructure is. Is there a common infrastructure or does each manufacturer have its own? Are they table driven or does one have to hand-code software? If table-driven, what is the format of the tables?<br>
