I have installed QQ pinyin from here http://qq.pinyin.cn/

and now I am trying to enter 女人.

I am switching to CN then starting to type: "nur..."

enter image description here

but then I press "...e..." and input changes to

enter image description here

and after I enter "...n" it turns to

enter image description here

Nothing similar to 女人 visible.

What I am doing wrong?

  • It doesn't look like a pinyin ime, the word options look strange. How does 飞扬 come out when you type nur? It looks like 五笔 ime

  • Sorry, can't say since I am a newbie with Chinese. From my POV it accept pinyin except u with umlaut.

nvren 'v' replaces 'ü' in Chinese input.

  • Namely u with two dots or any u?

  • Only the umlaut (2 dot) u. For example: 旅is typed with lv, 路 is typed with lu. Commented Jan 4, 2017 at 15:55
  • only for u with two dots. Same issue on standard google android pinyin. This is only an issue for nv and lv as lue works for lve, e.g. 略 lüè.

  • Ok that helped. But I don't understand, if these programs do guessing, then why are they so dumb with u/v???

    @Dims IMHO, that's because that the fact umlaut u is substituted by v is well known , so the programmer treats it as a common sense. Many people from south may not distinguish s/sh, c/ch, z/zh and n/ng well, so most IMEs provide options where the IME lists word options based on both consonants, instead of the consonant the user typed.

QQ pinyin Input "nvren" 女人

You can use nv instead of nu, since 女 has the u with dots above it. The v in most keyboards represents the u with dots.
