{{Short description|Method for generating non-native characters on devices}}
An '''input method''' (or '''input method editor''', commonly abbreviated '''IME''') is an [[operating system]] component or program that enables users to generate characters not natively available on their [[Input device|input devices]] by using sequences of characters (or mouse operations) that are available to them. Using an input method is usually necessary for languages that have more [[Grapheme|graphemes]] than there are keys on the keyboard.
