OS/2 tricks: How to set up DBCS environment on SBCS OS/2 #3 Input DBCS characters
The last step is to enable input DBCS characters.
DBCS OS/2 provides a special program, IME(Input Method Editor), to input DBCS characters. Of course, SBCS OS/2 does not. But, there are several ways to input DBCS characters.
1. Web IME
Web IME is the web service provides IME. In this case, it's not possible to input DBCS characters to a window directly. Instead, you should use COPY-AND-PASTE.
1.1 InputKing (http://www.inputking.com/)
This web IME supports various languages such as European, Russian and Indian as well as Chinese, Japan, Korean and Vietnamese.
2. Native IME
Native IME is an OS/2 program to provide IME. But not all IMEs support to input DBCS characters directly.
2.1.Chinese
2.1.1 Bridge2-Hi (https://www.arcanoae.com/shop/bridge2-hi/)
This program supports to input Chinese characters, Hanzi. This is not free.
2.2. Japanese
2.2.1 IMERJ (http://www.altsan.org/programming/os2/index.html#imerj)
This program supports to input Japanese characters. This program does not provide the direct input facility. So you should use COPY-AND-PASTE to input Japanese characters into a window.
2.3. Korean
2.3.1 KIME(K Input Method Editor) (http://www.ecomstation.co.kr/komh/os2factory/#kime)
This program supports to input Korean characters, Hangul, directly. And provides some enhancements for DBCS users using SBCS OS/2.
One of useful things of this program is that this program supports how to set 'Font Association'.
2.3.2 HHIME(Hanme Hangul Input Method Editor) (http://www.ecomstation.co.kr/index.php?mid=pds&page=2&document_srl=9390)
This program is a OEM version of KIME for Hanmesoft Corporation. And has some enhancements for KIME.
Hanmesoft Coporation provides this program freely.

3. Conclusion
I know, none of the above IMEs does not support the features fully of OS/2 DBCS IME(although I have not tested Bridge2-Hi). However, they will make DBCS users on SBCS OS/2 more happy.
If you want to input DBCS characters on SBCS OS/2, then use one of the above.
