language/IME issues

I study Japanese and some time ago, on a different computer with Windows XP
Home, I was playing around with the language options and accidently stumbled
upon a massive 7,000+ character database of Japanese characters within
Windows XP that allowed you to choose and copy every character in the
database. Now, I have a new computer with Windows XP Professional and I need
to access this database again. However, some how I've become completely
stupid and can't even remember how to get the language bar to work so I can
type in Japanese in Wordpad and I can't find any way to get into this
database again. Does anyone here even know what I'm talking about? Windows
Help doesn't seem to.
