The ibus-table family of packages provides table based input for languages such as the many Chinese languages, Japanese, Korean and more. In Funtoo we currently have 4 tables:

1. ibus-table - The main table
2. ibus-table-chinese - For Chinese languages
3. ibus-table-extraphrase - Additional phrases for Chinese languages
4. ibus-table-others - Tables for other languages

ibus-table

The ibus-table package is the base framework for the other tables and because of this it doesn't provide any input methods, instead the packages listed above extend and add their own ones using the ibus-table interface

To install ibus-table run:

root # emerge ibus-table
