Enter a full -width alphabet on the Japanese Roman Keyboard of iOS

There are "full -width" and "half -width" in Japan's unique character notation style.The full -width is used for hiragana and kanji, the aspect ratio is almost one -to -one, and the half -width is mainly used in alphanumeric characters, and the aspect ratio is 2 to 1.It's half -width because it is half in the horizontal direction of the full -width.

As with this article, the Japanese sentences we see on the Internet are now mixed with characters with different aspect ratios.It is thought that it is common to write alphanumeric characters in half -width because the numbers and English words quoted in the sentence are fully width, so that the appearance balance is considered in half -width.

It seems that some people, such as full -width/half -width, have nothing to do with our readers, but that is not the case.For example, a user registration form on a website.Have you ever seen a note that the characters used for the name of the address are full -width? Many people have been re -entered because they inadvertently entered half -width characters.

This problem is noticeable in the "Japanese Roman Keyboard" that allows you to enter alphanumeric characters directly/no conversion.The alphanumeric characters to be entered are basically half -width, so even if you are asked for full -width, you will be in trouble.Like the Japanese keyboard, there is a way to use the input conversion method, but it is ridiculous to choose from a conversion candidate for only one character and two characters.

However, even in the Japanese Roman Keyboard, you can use the half -width/full -width of the alphabet to enter in a simple way.It is a long press of the key top.For example, if you want to enter a full -width "Y", press and hold the "Y" key to tap "Y" with a blowout that appears.

You can also enter capital letters in the same way.The operation is easy, just tap the shift key ("↑") before pressing and holding the alphabet keys.When entering many characters in a continuous manner / full -width character, double tap the shift key and apply a capselock.
