IME question: ウォ
 

Hey all, I have a question about IME. How would you write: ウォ ? Thanks.

I don't know if there is a shorter way but you can just type this:
uxo ウォ

Type U-X-O and change it to katakana.

EDIT: Never mind, I was beaten to it.

ulo also works.

After you type it, press F7.

The best suggestion is the U X O because it works on Mac and Windows. U L O does not work on Mac.

Side note: does anyone know how to type "we" and "wi" on a Mac? I can't seem to figure it out. It is "we" and "wi" in Windows, but that gives me うぇand うぃ on my Mac. :/

Whenever I type 'we' and 'wi' on my pc it gives me the same thing.

If I want to type the old kana out I have to press spacebar to bring up the IME after typing 'we' or 'wi'

Yeah, that doesn't work on Macs either. There's no option to get we and wi even via the spacebar.

The only other thing i can think of if you haven't figured it out yet is that some IME's require you to type 'xwe' and 'xwi', so i guess that's worth a try.
(I think its the Anthy IME which I have a feeling might be Linux but like I said, worth a try)

Lucas89, tested and it doesn't work. Thank you very much for your suggestion, though.

So I searched on google for a few minutes even though I don't own a mac (Yea this question was actually bugging me that much :p)

Mac uses an IME called Kotoeri apparently.

I found this table.

Anthy : xwi or wyi - ゐ
Anthy : xwe or wye - ゑ
use F7 to get katakana versions

MS IME* / Canna: wi - ゐ
MS IME / Canna: we - ゑ

Kotoeri / SKK: wyi - ゐ
Kotoeri / SKK: wye - ゑ

If that doesn't work then i don't know what will. :)
