Input contexts (and input methods) are what is used to enter special
characters like those obtained with the compose key of the keyboard
(or with an additional patch which is not yet in xforms, chinese,
japanses or korean).

It would be interesting to know why the XCreateIC call fails. It may
be actually that cghan patch to use CJK languages with xforms will fix
your problem on solaris too.

Do you have special locale-related environment variables set?
