Please test the following input methods:

• Japanese. Add the Japanese keyboard layout and switch it to get Hiragana. Then type for example "sennsei" or "konnichiha" or "mikann". Check that you can see the composition being built and also try to choose other suggestions
• UniKey Vietnamese. Please see Can't write Vietnamese text in editor with UniKey software #1168
• Mac: Please try the "hold" input method where you long press "e" and get all other variants
• Mac: Please try the emoji inserter
• Chinese. Please try typing . or , in full width form

@alexandrudima I couldn't test "UniKey" on OS X because it doesn't exist but all the Vietnamese input methods (including drawing shapes on the trackpad ;-) seem to work fine.

@weinand Awesome! Thank you ❤️

On Linux I tested the Japanese input methods with mozc. It seems to work, but I lack knowledge of Japanese.

I wasn't able to verify UniKey Vietnamese and Chinese on Linux. I tried
http://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/1431/install-ibus-on-freya
but switching never had an impact (also not on other applications).

Windows

Japanese

Vietnamese

I could not get UniKey to do anything when it was on. I followed the instructions above and make sure my settings looked identical. I did however change the keyboard to Vietnamese QWERTY and i was able to see additional characters in the editor.

Chinese

I think it worked for simplified Chinese?

(picture also includes the Vietnamese text i was trying to type)

For posterity see #2374:

• switch to Korean input
  
• Press g k s r m f (it should be "한글")
• Press space
• You should get "한글"
