Hi, fcitx doesn't work as well, just like scim. It could only be fixed in tcl/tk. I found that there is a patch to improve i18n support of tcl/tk, but the newest version is for tcl/tk 8.3.1. There is no similar patch for tcl/tk 8.4.x. You may try the attached patch to see if it's workable. If it could solve the problem, then maybe we should port it to tcl/tk 8.4.9 and 8.5. And it'll be best if someone could help submit it to upstream.
