SCIM (Smart Common Input Method) is an input method framework used on Linux and Unix-like desktops. It uses a plugin architecture in which multiple input engines can be attached to handle multibyte text input for languages such as Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, and it provides input method modules for both GTK and Qt applications. It has since been superseded by successors such as ibus and fcitx, and for Hangul (Korean) input it is often compared with nabi and nimf.
