How to write Calliope in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Calliope becomes カリオペ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| カ | ka | |
| リ | ri | |
| オ | o | |
| ペ | pe |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example カリオペ・スミス for Calliope Smith.
