Korean OS Design Development (Windows CE 5.0)
For Korean OS designs, Windows CE provides a localized version of the Windows CE OS for the Korean locale, the Common project, the Gulim and Gl_ce TrueType Korean fonts, a model 106 Korean keyboard driver for the CEPC, and Korean handwriting support for Hangul and Hanja input. The Korean build also contains a Korean IME that is based on the Windows 95 IME97 IME, as well as a Korean input method (IM). The following table shows the IME for the Korean locale.
| IME | Description |
|---|---|
| IME97 | Contains a customizable UI sample, based on the Microsoft® Windows® 95 application programming interface (API) IME. |
Windows CE also provides the following IMs.
| IM | Description |
|---|---|
| MSIMK | A sample IM with a soft keyboard that allows Hangul input and is closely tied to the IME97. The source code is located in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\wceshellfe\oak\InputMethods\Korean\msimk. |
| HWX | A handwriting recognition engine for supporting user-drawn ideographs and characters. If used, the OEM must develop a UI, or use the MboxKor as a starting point for UI development. |
| MboxKor | A sample IM for Korean Handwriting input that works with the HWX engine. The source code is located in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Sdk\Samples\Mboxkor. |
OS Design Information
The following table shows operating system design information for Korean.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Dependencies | The MSIMK soft keyboard IM requires the Software-based Input Panel Driver Catalog item. |
| Hardware considerations | The MSIMK soft keyboard IM requires requires a touch screen. |
