How to customise locl

[madonuko]

When I use fcitx5-mozc in libreoffice to type 。 it detects it as Japanese, but when I type the same character using fcitx5-rime it is detected as Chinese (simplified). How can I change it to Chinese (Hong Kong)?

This is most likely coming from the input method language code, not from the punctuation character itself.

The shipped configs advertise different languages:

# fcitx5-mozc
LangCode=ja

# fcitx5-rime
LangCode=zh

fcitx passes that LangCode to frontends when the current input method changes, so LibreOffice can reasonably treat Mozc input as Japanese and Rime input as generic Chinese. If LibreOffice/font shaping maps generic zh to Simplified Chinese for locl, that matches what you are seeing.

For a local test, override Rime's input method config under your user data dir, for example:

# ~/.local/share/fcitx5/inputmethod/rime.conf
[InputMethod]
Name=Rime
Icon=fcitx-rime
Label=ㄓ
LangCode=zh_HK
Addon=rime
Configurable=True

Then restart fcitx5 and LibreOffice. If that particular frontend/font path expects BCP-47 style tags, zh-HK is also worth trying. fcitx itself does not seem to validate the string strictly; it mostly passes the configured language code through.

This changes the language advertised for the whole Rime input method. For mixed-language documents, LibreOffice's character language/style setting is still the more precise control.

Thank you very much for the quick response!
