Anyone know how to type ellipsis in Google IME?

Ellipses are these ones
……………………………………

I press the dot button but it comes out like this 。。。

Try hitting space after you enter the dots or pressing (/) instead (and then hitting space).

If you mean・・・・ just press the / key. I don't have to hit space on mine, just does it automatically.

Cosign is talking about the symbol with 3 dots in a single glyph: …

As kazelee says you can either type '。。。' and hit space, or '・・・' (the / key) and hit space. At least on my Google IME (the one for Macs), both give me '…'.

てん will also usually bring it up in most ime.

It's pretty cool how the IME system will let you write stuff differently. For example, that you can get ☆ and ★ by writing ほし and pressing space.

I don't know how to get the little love heart though. I assumed it would be こころ or something. Not that I would use it anyway ^_^ にゃん ☆

はーと brings it up in some ime.

I had the problem today that I didn't know how to write / in japanese, after reading this topic it occurred to me that I could use the same "technique" and indeed, すらっしゅ becomes ／.

Type きごう and you'll get a lot of symbols. Apparently not heart, though. ㍻２２

Although I think you can just type ・ and the IME will suggest ／ as an alternative.

はーと works just fine for the little heart in google's IME. Similar for すぺーど, くらぶ. Not sure if I'm missing a better way, but しかく will get you a diamond... but not the card suit one.

Some of the symbol sections in google ime are a little deficient out of the box. とらんぷ doesn't give you the card suits en masse, おんぷ seems limited to the single note instead of including ♩　♫　♪　♬ . Then again, its quite possible I'm just missing the right keyword.

This has a good list of special characters.

Yeah but not all of those work with the Google IME. Theoretically I would presume it's possible to convert the expanded symbol dictionary file from the Windows IME (IMJPSB.DIC I believe) in to something that the Google IME can import, but I don't know of anything off the top of my head.

If you did that, though, then all of that stuff should work fine with Google IME.

Edit: minor OS clarification

Sorry, didn't try with Google IME, just on my Mac.

Works with Windows IME. Not sure about google. I stopped using it.

If you want the card suit diamonds in google's IME, all you have to do is type だいや.
