Hi,
Making typing errors in mail/mutt I discovered that you can compose Japanese characters, both hiragana and katakana. This is on a FreeBSD 12.2 RELEASE, with only basis install (so no specific Japanese things).
m<backspace>e produces hiragana me め
M<backspace>e produces katakana me メ
I can't find out how to make single hiragana/katakana like a e i u o
My question is if there is documentation how this works on FreeBSD? Or someone from Japan who can describe it, using a regular romanji keyboard.
[edit] I found an internet page describing the Language input keys, but it is not specific on our beloved OS.
[edit2] To add complexity: this way of composing only works in mail/mutt but not in editors/vim, which is also the editor used in mutt. Localization is set in .profile `LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8; export LANG MM_CHARSET=UTF-8; export MM_CHARSET`
TIA,
