Reverse transliterations

When naïve transliterators and virtual keyboard meet.

Russian

Main notes: use j for Й, ja for Я etc., y for Ы, and the apostrophe or q for the soft sign, w for the hard sign. Underscore works as digraph separator: t_s = тс, ts = ц. Key: Show/Hide

Hiragana & katakana

Use lowercase for hiragana, uppercase for katakana. Use an apostrophe after n/N to force ん/ン instead of an n-row kana. Use a tilde ~ for the katakana vowel lengthener ー. Use an underscore to mark the small vowel kana. This also accepts Nihon-shiki romanization (si for し, tu for つ, etc.); it is in fact preferred, and you can use it to differentiate between the two ji kana (zi for じ and di for ぢ); ji defaults to じ. The same goes for づ (du) and ず (zu). Western punctuation .,“”·() is replaced with Japanese punctuation 。、「」・(); you can also use the vertical bar | for the Japanese middle dot ・.
