I tried with both Thunderbird run from the terminal and also running 
uxterm from the same terminal. The terminal itself, is definitely 
displaying in unicode. It looks different than the default. I'm lost as 
to what my next option(s) is/are. Geez, it'd be nice to be able to input 
Japanese...lol. I want to add, when I tried with scim, I would get a 
small underline under the "a" in "ka" for example, but, when hitting the 
space key, nothing happens. I also don't get the word, "hiragana", in 
the widget, like your pic does. I only get, "Raw Code", 
"English/Keyboard" and "English/Keyboard>English/European". Raw Code is 
the only option that produces the underline under the letter. Cheers.
