This is done by <OutCode> command in NJSTAR v2.1 plus (For Registered users)
It can output the Input code on top of each Chinese character for any input
methods in NJSTAR (Pinyin, ZhuYin, Telecode, WuBiZiXin, ...)

There is another related function <GetCode>. This function tells the input code
of Chinese character at cursor. In Pinyin input mode, this command can be used
to tell the pinyin of unknown Chinese character while reading an article.

We are currently adding a sound function with <GetCode>, In pinyin mode,
it will pronounce the sound of Chinese character. But it requires SoundBlaster
and 20MB hard disk to store the sound files.
