拼音 ↔ 注音
Pinyin ↔ zhuyin converter
Type pinyin and get zhuyin, or type zhuyin and get pinyin. Tone marks (nǐ hǎo) and tone numbers (ni3 hao3) both work.
Zhuyin
The full correspondence table
Every zhuyin symbol maps to exactly one pinyin spelling. The reverse is not true — pinyin rewrites some finals depending on what comes before them, which is the main reason the two systems are not a simple letter swap.

Where the two systems disagree
- Pinyin contracts iou, uei and uen to iu, ui and un after an initial. Zhuyin writes the full sound every time: ㄐㄧㄡ, ㄕㄨㄟ, ㄨㄣ.
- After j, q and x, pinyin drops the umlaut and writes ü as u. Zhuyin always writes ㄩ.
- Syllables with no initial get a y or w bolted on in pinyin — yi, wu, yuan. Zhuyin just writes the vowel.
- In zhi, chi, shi, ri, zi, ci and si, the i is not a real vowel. Zhuyin writes the initial on its own.
- The first tone is unmarked in zhuyin but written ā in pinyin. The neutral tone is the other way round: a dot before the syllable in zhuyin, nothing at all in pinyin.
