 Input methods - Sljfaq
Since Japanese input requires switching between roman and kana entry modes, and also conversion between kana and kanji (as discussed below), there are usually several special keys on the keyboard.
The kana to kanji converter offers a list of candidate kanji writings for the input kana, and the user may use the space bar or arrow keys to scroll through the list of candidates until he or she reaches the correct writing.
Sophisticated kana to kanji convertors, (known collectively as input method editors, or IME, after the name of the Microsoft product), allow conversion of multiple kana words into kanji at once, freeing the user from having to do a conversion at each stage.

 Input methods - OLPCWiki
In order to input text in any particular language and writing system, we need a Unicode font to display it in, a rendering engine that knows how to display it, and a keyboard layout or Input Method Editor (IME) that provides a way to get all of the needed characters.
Among the most important (due to efficiency of use or ease of learning, or in a few cases both) are language-specific phonetic conversion systems for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, and shape-based systems that are in principle independent of language, but in practice specific to particular countries up to now.

But input using XIM works exactly the same way in XEmacs as it does in all other applications with XIM support, for example Netscape or kterm.
