Line 5:
*for [[MS-DOS]], it is called an ''input method'' (Chinese) or an ''[[FEP]]'' (Japanese);
*for the [[X Window System]], it is generally called an ''input method'' (and the specific built-in implementation of X11’s input method support is called ''XIM'', short for ''X input method''; however, support for input methods are also provided by ''input method modules'' in various other parts of the system including [[GTK]] and [[Qt]]).
 
Although originally coined for [[CJK]] computing, the term is now sometimes used generically to refer to a program to support the input of any language. To illustrate, in the X Window System, the facility to allow the input of [[Latin character]]s with [[diacritics]] is also called an input method.
