How to Input Japanese Strings by using cs00

When turning Kana-Kanji conversion mode ON, keyboard input is grabbed by Htt (X Input Method Server) and sent to the cs00 daemon through the XCI (xci(7)) interface. The cs00 deamon converts the received strings to Japanese strings by using dictionary and returns the result to the program which has a keyboard focus now. See cs00(1M) for more details.

CUI based dictionary maintenance utilities are available. See udicm(1) and mdicm(1) for details.

Note -

GUI based maintenance utilities, sdtudicm(1) or udicmtool(1), are not available in the base Solaris product.

The basic Japanese input procedure is as follows:

Turning Japanese conversion mode on/off: Control + Space
Enter Kana character text: ex: Type "nihon"
Conversion to Kanji character text: Control + N
Commit the Kanji character text: Control + K

The following table shows cs00 operation list.
