I purchased a Japanese keyboard (QWERTY JIS) from a thrift shop in Sendai. I am eager to learn how to type quickly with it, but I cannot find the を key on the keyboard.

Where am I looking it over?

    This is probably going to be moved to the meta section, but do you know romaji? If you know romaji you can type Japanese. That's how they type. – Leebo Mar 17 at 1:57
  • I do know romanji, and I have used it in conjunction with a non-Japanese keyboard for some time. However, I would like to keep away from romanji, and this keyboard layout appears to let me do that for the most part. Does your comment mean that I will have to switch my keyboard layout to type this particular character? – Ethan Hill Mar 17 at 2:11

    I'm saying that even Japanese people use romaji for typing (note the spelling of romaji, btw). So if you want to type with kana because you want a challenge, I guess that's fine, but if you want to type the way Japanese people do, you can do so with the keyboard you already had. You just need an IME. – Leebo Mar 17 at 2:17
  • I would guess that the most frequent way that Japanese people enter their own language nowadays is via the ten key method rather than either romaji or kana keyboards. – Ben Mar 18 at 3:02

It should be on the zero key above わ. Press "shift" to get を instead of わ.
