Nabi is an input method for typing Korean (Hangul) in the X Window System. It implements the X Input Method (XIM) protocol and uses libhangul to handle input in the Dubeolsik (two-set) and Sebeolsik (three-set) Korean keyboard layouts. It is known for its simple design, with a tray icon that shows whether Korean or English input is active. Unlike multilingual frameworks such as ibus, fcitx, and nimf, it handles only Korean and is lightweight, but because it is based on XIM, it has limitations on Wayland and in recent GTK/Qt applications.
