It should be noted that the diacritic tonal numbers used on this keyboard differs from the Pe̍h-ōe-jī Tonal Numbers shown on Wikipedia.
This is purposely done to ensure compatibility with all the other Sinitic keyboards on this website so that the tonal numbers remain unchanged and to avoid needless confusion.
To type directly with the computer keyboard:
- Type the number after the vowel or consonant to add a diacritic.
macron (◌̄) = 1 (Note: Macrons are not used in Cantonese Penkyamp Romanization

grave accent (◌̀) = 4
circumflex (◌̂) = 5
double macron (◌̿) = 6 (Note: Double macrons are not used in Cantonese Penkyamp Romanization)
