How to write Jana in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Jana becomes ジャナ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ジャ | ja | two characters read as one sound |
| ナ | na |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ジャナ・スミス for Jana Smith.
