I've tried changing the input method with both the mouse and the keyboard, in HexChat and Mumble. Fcitx was installed with the system's package manager because it interacts with some system services and the Guix version gets confused and makes it so I can't even type the Latin character "a". Also, Guix doesn't have Fcitx Mozc for Japanese. I would like to use Fcitx for everything. On other systems, it has allowed me to type any language or script that comes to mind (except emoji, Yiddish, International Phonetic Alphabet, Shavian, runes and Egyptian hieroglyphs, unfortunately.)
