Try typing "du."

I have a similar problem, how do you get "ti" (as in "paatii"). I've never quite been able to figure that out(along with a few other uncommon character combos), and it's very frustrating.

Is there perhaps a way to change the default conversions to make it easier to input rarely used syllables? Like making "ti" go to テ small イ instead of ヂ? Thanks for any help you can give.

 

[Glenn]

I always use "te" and "xi" ("x" makes the following character small).

 

[Kid Chrono]

Glenn you are my hero! Thank you very, very much. This has bothered me so much ^^.

どぅぃたしましてぇぇぇ!

Just noticed that with NJ Star it doesn't work for every kana, just the vowels and っ and ゃ, ゅ, and ょ. I think that's it.

You know l+ a-o does the same thing
ぁ
ぃ
ぅ
ぇ
ぉ
ETC.

I use l, its easier to reach.

 

[Gaijinian]

L for me, too. I think of it as standing for "little"
Zilyapan=Japan.

 

[Glenn]

What does that mean?

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

Glenn, type it out in your Japanese IME and see what happens!

An alternative to the "L" key is the "x" key. Actually I knew about this long before I ever found out about the L key.

 

[Glenn]

I did, and I got this: ずぃりゃぱん/ズィリャパン. That doesn't make any sense to me.

ジャパン is what I get (the standard japanese input in Windows XP) in katakana and it seems to be the english pronunciation of Japan, just written in kana.

 

[Glenn]

NJ Star is making me miss Kotoeri.

 

[JimmySeal]

NJ Star renders "zi" as ずぃ? Very strange. Why don't you use the Microsoft IME?

 

[Glenn]

Because it requires the OS disk, and we don't have that around here (or at all from what my brother told me). If it were solely up to me, I would hook my Mac up to the internet and use that, because as far as I'm concerned Kotoeri beats both NJ Star and Microsoft's IME.

 

[JimmySeal]

Just in case you didn't already know, you don't have to specifically use the OS disc that came with your computer or that was used to install your windows. As long as it's the right version, any one will do. So if you know anyone with a disc for the same version of windows as yours, then you could use theirs.

I hadn't even thought about that, but this is find for a temporary fix. I'm starting to get used to it. Thanks for the info, though.
