Is that part of Hepburn? It is not mentioned in the article, nor by most explainers that I’m familiar with.

- QuercusMax 11mo agoThe article says the new style says that you can use either a macron or a doubled letter, but it's not clear if that's supported for keyboard input on various platforms.
- kazinator 11mo agoBut in the case of ō, you can only use a doubled letter if the underlying word is おお. If it is おう then you don't have a doubled letter you can use; you need "ou" and that's not Hepburn any more. It is "wāpuro rōmaji" (word processor romaji).
- shiomiru 11mo ago"ou" is fine too, actually. See the proposal p. 14 (=16 in the PDF): https://www.bunka.go.jp/seisaku/bunkashingikai/sokai/pdf/94261201_01.pdf https://www.bunka.go.jp/seisaku/bunkashingikai/sokai/pdf/942... (To differentiate between the case where it's actually two vowels, you have to put an apostrophe inbetween; their example is 小唄 -> ko'uta.)
