How to type “東京” on iPhone? Not working

I have tried both the kana and romaji keyboard to try to type the kanji for Tokyo and it never shows the correct kanji. It is nowhere to be found in the kanji list. What is happening? Unbelievably frustrating. Sorry if this is a dumb question I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

  1. Are you sure you’re typing とうきょう or to-u-kyo-u?

    If you’re not getting the mora right (i.e. typing “Tokyo” in romaji which would be equivalent to ときょ, which is not how the name is properly transliterated in Japanese), then it won’t come out right.

  2. It should be Tōkyo, but in English it just a simplified version Tokyo.

    Edit: Tōkyō
