Ehe. That's actually a big problem and the reason I choose not to use those romanization techniques. Sadly, they're OFFICIAL techniques, so they're going to persist.
Unfortunately, the only answer is "memorization". Some good news is that Jeffrey's J<->E dictionary server has fuzzy lookup so you don't have to know which one is right to find it. Games by Coda (updated 4/15/2024 - New game: Call of Aether)

You will find a similar problem with ee/ei in those romanization schemes, so heads up.

Type it as "di". ぢ/ヂ. In anticipation of your question, it's only used in compound words where the second word would be spelled with ち if it were to stand on its own, and many times in modern Japanese even those are changing over to じ instead. (Example, はなぢ vs. はなじ -- at least on Mac only the first one comes up with 鼻血 "nosebleed" but the second one is becoming increasingly acceptable.)

Not to mention it's really irritating when I actually /want/ the "di" sound in katakana but I can't fricken type it x.x'
Anyway more often than not (except with things like 大きい おおきい it won't be おお but rather おう I mean obviously there's a few exceptions but it's easy enough to memorize those.) and typically it's never ええ but rather えい which is pronounced just like ええ. Not... sure if that's what you meant, though. Or just the romanization >3<' /shot OMG I really hope I get my pens in today >3< | ||||

>3< I don't know why, but it stuck real easy for me for the most part... Are you using flash cards?
XD Although admittedly every so often when I'm writing I'll be writing half in hiragana and half in katakana just cause I think of one faster than the other. hell, in English sometimes my J's are often backwards and anything that has "ta" in it, I write the hiragana for ta. and so on. >3< | ||||
