Question Idiosyncrasies of typing Japanese - 01-22-2011, 12:11 AM

Hi, yet again,

I've had some questions about typing Japanese. I had already figured out the "little hiragana character" situation a while ago (e.g. te + x + i = ティ). Likewise, I know that pressing F7 converts my hiragana to katakana (e.g. まいく + F7 = マイク). I have also recently learned that on non-Japanese keyboards, ALT + ~ switches the input from romaji to hiragana when you are already in Japanese IME mode.

Now, can someone please tell me how the heck I can type the interpunct? That's the "middle of the line dot" that we use to separate foreign fords, for example (e.g. my last name and first name: クメルニツキー·マイク). Where the hell is "·" on the keyboard?

Secondly, how do I type づ?! "tsu" gives me つ. "zu" gives me ず. How do I get it to display づ?

Lastly, if anyone out there has any other Windows IME (romaji > Japanese) typing advice, please point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

-- Mike
