Tips

usage

Standard transliteration of the English name: 维罗尼卡 (Wéiluóníkǎ) is the standard PRC rendering of 'Veronica' (compare 莫妮卡 'Monica', 安吉丽卡 'Angelica' — all use 卡 for the final '-ca'); 德克斯特 (Dékèsītè) reads sound-by-sound 'Dek-s-ter'.

mistakes

The middle dot · (called 间隔号 jiàngéhào) separates the given name from the surname in foreign full names. Don't substitute a regular period or hyphen — Chinese typography is strict about this.
