JimmySeal Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:06 PM Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:06 PM Sorry for the n00b question but...略 seems to have a rather strange pinyin representation: lüè. I've tried typing this into my IME as lve4, luue4, lu:e4, lue4, but can't get it to work right. How do I enter this pinyin combination?

gougou Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:08 PM Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:08 PM lue works fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmySeal Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:10 PM Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:10 PM So it does. Now I feel like even more of a doof. Sorry. That must be close to a world record on response time on a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:10 PM Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:10 PM 略 掠 略 I just typed lue and it popped up. Worked on both MS IME 3.0 and Sogou (which you might want to look at, much preferable. Do a search on here if interested) Edit: I was only slower than gougou because I got looked up 圙 in Wenlin. It wasn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there no unified way of representing those characters in pinyin? My mobile phone has them as lve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmySeal Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:17 PM Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 at 01:17 PM zhongwen.com has it as luue on the "search by pronunciation" page, lüè on the search results page, and lvè on the character info page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokki Posted June 24, 2007 at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 at 02:08 PM As far as I'm aware there isn't supposed to be any dots on the u in "lue". It's the same rule as for "xu" or "qu". The pronunciation of u in that combination is always ü and so the dots are not necessary. The umlaut ü character is only used in positions where both pronunciations are possible eg. "lü" and "nü" vs. "lu" and "nu". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted June 24, 2007 at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 at 03:11 PM That's what I thought. The 新华词典 does have the dots, though... EDIT: I meant the 现代汉语词典. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted June 24, 2007 at 03:19 PM Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 at 03:19 PM So does 现代汉语词典 but only over lüè and nüè and not over xu or qu or ju. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liyuheng Posted June 25, 2007 at 08:07 AM Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 at 08:07 AM if lue doesn't work, try lve. Generally speaking, in Chinese IME v represents ü. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
