Q How do I input user-defined characters with IME?
A You must register the user-defined characters' information first.

User-defined characters cannot be used immediately with IME simply by creating them with a user-defined character editor.
With traditional user-defined characters, it is necessary to register the user-defined character and its reading in the IME dictionary.
Under systems such as XKP, where user-defined characters are centrally administered, it is possible to input user-defined characters by registering the required information in the administrative database.
