MULE is the name originally given to the version of GNU Emacs extended for multi-lingual (and in particular Asian-language) support. “MULE” is short for “MUlti-Lingual Emacs”. It is an extension and complete rewrite of Nemacs (“Nihon Emacs” where “Nihon” is the Japanese word for “Japan”), which only provided support for Japanese. SXEmacs refers to its multi-lingual support as MULE support since it is based on MULE.
