In Japanese, what is the difference between the two "o" kana (the お at the top
of the list and the other "o" usually listed at the bottom rightmost entry of
the hiragana our katakana chart. I can't seem to find a way to enter this
(using Android Swype Japanese keyboard). Is there a standard way to enter this
character at a keyboard?

I tried entering the custom sentence:

> Anata wa nani o kaimashita ka.

using romaji to see if the characters would come out. However, it seems I have
to type ha instead of wa, if I type wa then the は character is not suggested,
and I cannot seem to find a way to enter the latter "o" character which is the
way I want, using the romaji keyboard.

I general, how do Japanese romaji keyboards solve this issue, and how can I
solve it?

> あなたは なにお 買いました か。

Are these two "o" pronounced the same?

question
particles pronunciation particle-を kana input-method
Difference between the two "o" kana, and how to input them from romaji keyboard?
を is actually inputted as "wo", and should technically be pronounced as such
as well, but that kana is almost completely unused except for the particle for
verbs. And for a complicated reason, the pronunciation for particles is
slightly different that the way to write it and becomes "o".
