Sorry for necro’ing an old thread. But this grammar has been coming up in my reviews with the special rule:
What’s the best way to input the character っ in the reviews? I guess you can technically just utilize any rendaku and delete the character. But is there a better way of achieving this?
Good question tbh. I think a common way would be l+tu for an isolated っ, but whether or not that’s faster than typing t+tu then hitting the backspace is probably personal preference. I think Japanese keyboards have a dedicated hotkey for it? Never used one so just speculating, I’d be curious to hear from others as well.

I didn’t realize we were able to do this on romaji input even when utilizing Windows IME! I’d probably input much faster utilizing the latter approach, but it’s really good to know there’s a way to access all of the small characters on IME as well
