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