<p>I have referenced to many online Chinese Dictionaries,</p>

<p>basically it is "jue2" (jué), not "jue3" (juĕ).</p>

<p>May be the programmer or editor of the HanYu Pinyin entry method is confused by the Cantonese:</p>

<p>Refer to:
<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BA%85#Pronunciation" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CANTONESE</a></p>

<p>because the pronunciation of 亅 in Cantonese is kyut<strong>3</strong></p>

<p>I hope I did answer your question.</p>

<p>Why does the Windows 10 HanYu Pinyin entry method for the 亅 (hook radical) character require typing "jue3" (juĕ) instead of "jue2" (jué)?</p>

<p>The pronunciations at <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BA%85" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wiktionary</a>, <a href="https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.php?define=%E4%BA%85" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Yabla</a>, and <a href="http://www.zdic.net/z/15/js/4E85.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">漢典</a> are "jué", so the discrepancy doesn't make any sense to me.</p>

Perhaps you should switch your IME - 搜狗输入法 is definitely the most popular

Software mistakes and bugs are common. It is hard to guess how it ends up there. The Unihan database （http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=%E4%BA%85）also has the pinyin as jué, which references a dictionary.

Why does the Windows 10 HanYu Pinyin entry method for the 亅 (hook radical) character require typing "jue3" (juĕ) instead of "jue2" (jué)?

The pronunciations at [Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BA%85), [Yabla](https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.php?define=%E4%BA%85), and [漢典](http://www.zdic.net/z/15/js/4E85.htm) are "jué", so the discrepancy doesn't make any sense to me.

I have referenced to many online Chinese Dictionaries,

basically it is "jue2" (jué), not "jue3" (juĕ).

May be the programmer or editor of the HanYu Pinyin entry method is confused by the Cantonese:

Refer to:
[CANTONESE](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BA%85#Pronunciation)

because the pronunciation of 亅 in Cantonese is kyut**3**

I hope I did answer your question.
