muttsu → むっつ
To make a small っ you duplicate the consonant → e.g. kka becomes っか. For tsu you only type two t’s not two s’s → ttsu becomes っつ
Here’s a guide that might help

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help!
Also you can get つ with just TU instead of TSU, and similarly っつ with just TTU, which is less typing.
Yeah that’s how I personally type it and I almost mentioned it, but idk how familiar OP is with Japanese in general and didn’t want them to get confused w/ the pronunciation side of things (since even though you can type つ as either “tsu” or “tu” you pronounce it as “tsu”) so I only mentioned the other way
But yeah I almost exclusively type “tu” these days, especially when I have a ton of reviews to get through lol
Embarrassed to admit that it took me almost 2 years to figure that out.
I started doing this when I did reviews on my phone. I can select either qwerty or qwertz for my phone’s keyboard layout, so I can never remember where they “Y” button is. Sometimes is in the top row middle, and sometimes at the bottom left. When I type じょ, I make typos all the time. Now I just skipped the “Y” altogether and type “jo”.
Typing will make a lot more sense if you look at a typing chart aimed at Japanese people, like this for example:

Yeah, I typed tsu and shi instead of tu and si for way too long. I never used jyu, only ever ju.
At first, I also had to keep looking up how to write any kana small by adding an x to it. So using xa to write something like ぁ instead of regular あ
If it’s any consolation, I’ve seen some Japanese people do that as well . Writing ちゃ as ‘tixya’ or ‘tilya’.
Maybe not exactly the same situation but the fact that there’s multiple ways of typing with an IME means there’s probably someone doing it in a less standard way as well.
As others have mentioned, for things like つ→っ you would double the consonant of the following kana.
You will sometimes see nonstandard things like あ→ぁ for example, though usually more for effect. You can contract any kana by proceeding it with an ‘x’. So xa→ぁ.
Xtu can be used if you only need the small tsu
っ behold, small tsu be upon ye
Thanks for the great tip!
Ohhh I had no idea you could use ‘x’ to type a small character! I only knew ‘l’ which I’m pretty sure I discovered by accident a couple years ago (random extra letters tend to make their way in while I’m typing - a combination of poor coordination and my brain working too fast for my fingers - though usually it’s ‘k’ for some reason)
