And, current uim dummy package's description: This package is a dummy convenience package designed to install the basic uim infrastructure. It does not depend on Japanese plugin packages, because uim is not specific to Japanese. To use a Japanese Input Method, you need to install one of the following packages: * uim-anthy: Anthy plugin for uim; * uim-canna: Canna plugin for uim; * uim-prime: PRIME plugin for uim; * uim-skk: SKK plugin for uim. says Japanese. So, I put Pinyin, Byeoru, and M17n. This package is a dummy convenience package designed to install the basic uim infrastructure. It does not depend on any plugin packages, because uim is not specific to any languages. To use an input method, you need to install one of the following packages: * Japanese input method - uim-anthy: Anthy plugin for uim; - uim-canna: Canna plugin for uim; - uim-prime: PRIME plugin for uim; - uim-skk: SKK plugin for uim. * Chinese input method - uim-pinyin: Pinyin input support for uim. * Korean input method - uim-byeoru: Byeoru input support for uim. * Many other languages input method - uim-m17n: M17n plugin for uim. (I will rename uim-m17nlib to uim-m17n.

It is undocumented. So, I checked their sources. Pinyin-big5 supports tone numbers: M A 1, M A 2, M A 3, and M A 4. But py and pyunihan do not support tone, maybe... > >>>> Package: uim-tcode > >>> : > > Present, upstream obsoletes T-Code and Try-Code. > > I will confer with team about dropping T-Code and Try-Code. > [...] > >> This package provides uim support for T-Code/TUT-Code/Try-Code input, a > >> Japanese input method mapping pairs of alphanumeric codes to individual > >> kanji - see http://openlab.jp/tcode/ (in Japanese). > > If Try-Code doesn't exist any longer we probably shouldn't mention it.
