How to write Jorge in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Jorge becomes ホルヘ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ホ | ho | |
| ル | ru | |
| ヘ | he |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ホルヘ・スミス for Jorge Smith.
