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