How to write Emma in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Emma becomes エマ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| マ | ma |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エマ・スミス for Emma Smith.
