While kinput2/canna|wnn use EUC, the app invoking them can use whatever
coding and codeset it likes. I use kinput2/etc. into kterms working in
ISO-2022-JP and even Shift_JIS, and also into yudit working in utf-8.

I have not heard of any utf-8-oriented IM under development. I think
Japanese apps will have to do a JIS208-utf-8 conversion on-the-fly,
which is what yudit does, AFAIK.
