It doesn't work on my computer.  I recall that working on Windows, so it might be an operating system difference.

Google IME only support Windows (killed by Google already), and Android (still available). Do you mean `fcitx-googlepinyin`?

# How to type the Chinese ellipsis ⋯⋯ using Google Pinyin IME?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-03-03)

I've learned that "。。。" is incorrect in Chinese punctuation (see e.g. [Chinese ellipsis marks](https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/23238/chinese-ellipsis-marks)), it should be "⋯⋯", called 省略号. I've just been copy/pasting this into my documents so far, but there's surely a better way to do this.

I'm using Google Pinyin IME which is fairly standard, I think. (If relevant, my operating system is Linux Mint.)

**Question**: How to type the Chinese ellipsis ⋯⋯ using Google Pinyin IME?

I didn't find an obvious answer by searching [`google pinyin ellipsis`](https://www.google.com/search?q=google%20pinyin%20ellipsis).
