taryn Posted June 15, 2005 at 05:44 PM Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 at 05:44 PM I hate to start a new thread to ask such a simple question BUT... Whenever I try to type the word daughter: 女儿 in Microsoft word, "nu er" brings up somthing like this: 奴儿. I can cut and paste the info but it's ruining my typing rhythm. How can I type that in if the IME doesn't let me enter an umlaut? Is this always a problem with the umlaut or is there something I'm not understanding about the language? (I'm a beginner transcribing Pimsleur Level I.) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-Bin Posted June 15, 2005 at 11:54 PM Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 at 11:54 PM Just type nv instead. Because there is no "v" in pinyin, they use that key instead. I mucked around for ages before I found that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiam17 Posted July 12, 2007 at 10:33 PM Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 at 10:33 PM hi The pinyin for 女 is nu. I use Njstar Chinese WP / Chinese Simplified Microsoft Pinyin Ime 3 for input. Both these programs dont list this word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
