IPad Magic Keyboard Folio can not write small ya や

when I switch my Magic Keyboard Folio  settings to KANA I can write all Hiragana, but I can not write small や as in かいしやいん

No matter what I try, it is not possible. Only way I can get it is open the ipad displayed Kana keyboard and then hold the や and select the small one. that is rather cumbersome.


Also it is not posible to get the Magic Keyboard react as a pure Japanese KANA keyboard. I can only have a KANA phonetic keyboard. So I write ya and it writes や (what I am ok with)


But how do I get the や and others small? As only by writing the や small as of the above exsample I get the Kanji: 医者

Does typing xya work?  On a mac, ya produces や and xya produces ゃ


Have you tried any other modifications of the input sequence?


If you know Japanese well, you can try its forum too

That is mistaken. If you go to settings > general > keyboard > hardware keyboard and tap over at the right edge, make sure that "kana" is checked, and you should get a Magic Keyboard layout like this
