About 小狼毫（Rime）
Weasel is the Windows frontend of RIME, the open-source Chinese input method engine, released under the GPL-3.0 license. RIME is a cross-platform framework; its macOS counterpart is Squirrel, and Linux users have ibus-rime and fcitx5-rime.
During setup an Installation Options dialog lets you register Weasel under Simplified Chinese or Chinese (Taiwan) keyboard layouts. It ships with Luna Pinyin, Bopomofo and Cangjie, and more schemata such as Wubi, Cantonese and Wu can be added with the /plum/ manager. Press Ctrl-` or F4 to open the schema menu. User dictionaries and configuration live in %AppData%\Rime and take effect after a redeploy. It supports Windows 8.1, 10 and 11.
