Keyboard Input

To obtain characters from an input method, a client must call the XmbLookupString() function or XwcLookupString() function with an input context created from that input method. Both a locale and display are bound to an input method when they are opened, and an input context inherits this locale and display. Any strings returned by the XmbLookupString() or XwcLookupString() function are encoded in that locale.
