Yes it is.
Btw, how could you read this?
I know the meaning from Chinese characters (they are also used in Japan),
but I can't imagine how you pronunce it.

How about scim-chewing?
I can't read Chinese but it seems like to be a input-method for
Traditional Chinese.
Please visit here and tell me if you like it:
http://chewing.csie.net/

And I've heard that there is scim-ccinput.
But I'm not sure if it is really a Chinese input-method. :-(


> 1.
I think such a feature is not yet available.
I'll send this mail to scim-list too.


Regards,
Ryo
