'''uim''' (short for "universal input method") is a multilingual [[input method]] framework. Applications can use it through so-called ''bridges''.

== Supported applications ==
uim supports the [[X Window System]] legacy XIM (short for [[X Input Method]]) through the <code>uim-xim</code> bridge. Many X applications are written in either [[GTK+]] or [[Qt (toolkit)|Qt]], which have their own modules dealing with input methods, and uim supports both of these with its GTK+ and Qt immodules.

uim has a bridge for the console (<code>uim-fep</code>), [[Emacs]] (<code>uim.el</code>), and [[macOS]] (MacUIM).
