The "fox" in the name does not refer to the animal; rather, in the ISO 639 language codes, "fox" is the code for Formosan Austronesian languages. It signifies that this is an input method for Taiwan's Austronesian languages. - The ILRDF also provides an official Indigenous language input method, which supports platforms such as Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. This input method, however, was developed by the OpenVanilla community to support platforms not covered by the ILRDF's official version. - This input method is released under the MIT License.
