Qirichanu can be written using three scripts; the Latin alphabet (arufabeçu ratinu), Hiragana (firagana) and Katakana (catacana). Kanji (canji) is also sometimes used in written Qirichanu.

Latin (Ratinu)

Letter	Name	IPA
Aa	a	/a/
Bb	be	/b/
Cc	ce	/k/,/ts/,[s]²
Dd	de	/d/
Ee	e	/e/
Ff	efi	/h/,[ɸ],[ç]³
Gg	ge	/g/
Hh	aga	/h/,/∅/¹
Ii	i	/i/,/j/
Jj	jota	/dʑ/,[ʑ]
Kk	kapa	/k/¹
Ll	eli	/l/,/ɾ/¹
Mm	emi	/m/
Nn	eni	/n/,[n̠ʲ]
Oo	o	/o/
Pp	pe	/p/
Qq	qe	/k/
Rr	eri	/ɾ/
Ss	esi	/s/
Tt	te	/t/
Uu	u	/u/,/w/
Vv	vue	/b/
Ww	daburiu	/w/¹
Xx	xi	/ɕ/
Yy	ixirom	/j/
Zz	ze	[dz],/z/

¹ loanwords only
² /k/ before "a" and "o" and "u", [ts~s] before "e" and "i"
² [ɸ] before "u", [ç] before "i", /h/ elsewhere

There are two digraphs: "ch" /tɕ/ and "nh" /n̠ʲ/.

"C" is pronounced /k/ when before the vowels "a", "o" and "u", and as /ts/ when before "e" and "i". When /k/ appears before the "e" or "i" it is represented by "q". Likewise, when /ts/ appears before "a", "o" or "u" it is represented by "ç".

Long vowels are written by doubling the vowel: "aa", "ii", "uu", "ee", "oo". /e:/ and /o:/ are also more commonly written as "ei" and "ou" respectively. At the end of a word as part of a diphthong or "ei", "i" is written "y": ie "ay", "ey". Geminate consonants are written by writing the consonants twice with the exceptions of "cq" and "tç" rather than *"qq" and *"çç". Digraphs are written by doubling the first part when geminated: "cch" and "nnh".

"M" and "n" are used to represent a nasal vowel when in the syllable coda. "M" appears at the end of a word or before "p" or "b", "n" appears before any other consonant apart from in compound words.
