Thai Input Method (THIM)

The Thai Input Method is similar to the Single-Byte Input Method (SIM), except that it is customized for processing the Thai language.

Specifically, it is designed to prevent entry of combinations of Thai characters (consonants, upper/lower vowels, tone marks) that are not valid in the Thai language. The features of the THIM are as follows:

• Supports Latin and Thai groups, as the two main groups on the keyboard.
  • Pressing the left-alt key and left-shift key puts the keyboard in the Thai group.
  • Pressing the left-alt key and right-shift key puts the keyboard in the Latin group.
• Supports the TIS-620 codeset.
