This should be automatic.  If it's not, two or more rules overlap and it
may need to be fixed.  Can you specify an example?

I think the TeX input method (as defined in leim/quail/latin-ltx.el)
doesn't have any Asian characters.  Can you give an example?  Look in
that file to see the current bindings--maybe that will help.  Can you
also check the actual value of your `default-input-method' to make sure
it's correct?
