How to Type Japanese

Particle wa & o

は HA is used as a particle WA.

を WO is used as a particle O.

へ HE is used as a particle E.

There is no space between word and word in the ordinary Japanese sentence,
but you should put a space when you write a sentence without Kanji.

Our materials use に as a direction marker instead of へ.

A full stop "." is "。". It is called "Maru".
