I can’t type づ using Romanji

[calvo_alto]

Whenever I type “zu” I get ず. (I’m copying and pasting from a hiragana website) What can I type to get づ? Thanks for the help!

Typing “du” will give you the character づ. Japanese input can have some non-intuitive quirks, so it might help to check out a quick video or guide on typing in Japanese to get more comfortable with the system! Happy studying!

Hi!

I leave this reference here, just in case it might be useful for other instances.

Help with typing things like てぃ (for Vocab, mostly)

[Edited to add: Main solution already found, and appended below.] Especially when trying to enter answers for certain vocab words (usually loan words), sometimes we need to type uncommon but legitimate kana constructions like てぃ or, more accurately, katakana ティ (although usually when appropriate, the text entry will automatically convert hiragana to katakana on Enter). For example, パーティー, ボランティア, and actually quite a few others I haven’t encountered yet (Bunpro Vocab search for ティ). There are…

HTH!

Funny that you consider it unintuitive, as it is completely intuitive in my language. I am from slovakia and we have a letter “dz” (yes, that is one letter) and if I add “u” to make “dzu”, that sounds exactly like japanese “づ” And “ず” would be written as “zu” in slovak, again every intuitive.

These are phonetic languages, where letters represent sounds. Even romaji is phonetic English is the culprit here, it uses weird pronunciation.
