[Xpert]unicode input

2002-06-05 Thread James H. Cloos Jr.
Is there any good way to input arbitrary unicode characters via the keyboard in a en_US.UTF-8 locale? I cannot find any sign of an XIM server for this. Everything I've found seems to be targted to CJK input. Is there one that I missed? Is there a better way than bothering with an XIM server?
