Type Bopomofo on an English keyboard — what shows up?

BopomofoZhuyinIME

Details

What happened

The sentence is already sent. A tool that rewrites in place can map the Latin letters back to Zhuyin through the stable key layout. When both readings are valid words, a good correction asks before it writes.2

Why it's not a missing glyph

This is a Taiwan-and-macOS "mode" problem, not a Unicode gap. An input method is a state. Text is not. And password fields should never be rewritten after the fact.3
