Applicable IME: Microsoft New Phonetic IME

 

Microsoft New Phonetic IME enhances the functionality in typing sentence-final particles. It saves your time selecting a sentence-final particle from the candidate list if you enter a specific  punctuation symbol after the character. For example, when you type a sentence-final particle - such as 嗎, 呢 and 啊 - at the end of a sentence and a corresponding full-width punctuation mark, the New Phonetic IME will automatically select the correct particle and complete input.

 

For example: Entering "今天的天氣是晴天馬" + ? will get "今天的天氣是晴天嗎?", but entering the same sentence + will get "今天的天氣是晴天嘛!"

 

Note:

Sentence-final particles must be followed by punctuation symbol, whether full-width or half-width, such as a question mark, exclamation mark, period or comma. Then IME will recognize the character as a sentence-final particle and start substitution.

 

The table below explains how New Phonetic IME recognizes the particles and converts them into correct characters:
