Why is my Android emulator keyboard in Japanese character mode?

Question

I'm debugging my Android application using the AVD (Android Virtual Device). When I try to enter text in a text field, my characters are being interpreted as Japanese (or Chinese?) in the IME.

I don't know how I got into this mode or how to get out of it (I just want to enter alphabetic keys)?

Here's a screen shot:
