To input Japanese Kana (Hiragana, Katakana) or Kanji, you normally use Japanese IME. However, for people who know ONLY Chinese IME and/or for those who do not know Japanese-Romaji method, NJStar Communicator allows you to use Chinese IME to input Japanese Kana/Kanji as well!

• Input Kanji (日語漢字): Use Chinese IME to input Japanese Kanji is really easy - you only have to select Japanese (Shift-JIS/EUC-JIS) as output code from the right-most button on the Chinese IME bar, and then type the normal "Chinese" character(s) with your favorite Chinese input method!
   
• Input Hiragana/Katakana: Open up "Symbols Input" method (shortcut is "Alt+6") table, choose "Hiragana" or "Katakana" from the right window, then use mouse to select! Also make sure that you choose Japanese (Shift-JIS/EUC-JIS) as your output code.
