However, because there are plenty of computers without any IME for POJ to key in the vowels with tone mark and special characters, it's common forthe users of them to replace the tone marks and special characters with tone numbers and other alphabets when typing Min Nan with POJ. Nevertheless, it's not official.

In Taiwanese Min Nan, Ú-iā-hoe (Chinese Character: 雨夜花 ,literally "A flower in a rainy night") is an old Min Nan song that is famous in Taiwan.

*關於*
Ú-iā-hoe (Uiahoe) 是 chi̍t ê kā 閩南語白話字（Pe̍h-ōe-jī，簡稱 POJ） ê 數字音調 kah 替代文字變作正港 ê 白話字 ê program。
因足多電腦 lāi-té bo5 白話字 ê 輸入法，bo5 法度 phah 調號和特殊 ê 文字（如鼻化音 ⁿ 、葫蘆點 ͘）。因此，足多使用者 kā 聲調換作數字，用替代方式來 phah POJ 。但是，che lóng m̄ 是正港 ê 白話字寫法，所以我 tioh8 寫 chit ê program。
閩南語 ê 拼音有夠 chhē，chit-ê program 未來可能支援其他 ê 拼音。Che mā 是伊 ê 名 bo5 POJ 三 ê 字 ê 原因。可惜心力不足，需要看有 bo5 時間 iah8 是 tàu saⁿ-kang ê 人。
Ú-iā-hoe 是白話字對「雨夜花」ê 轉寫，是一首 uí 日本時代唱 káu 今 a2 日 ê 台灣閩南語老歌。而去掉聲調 kap 連字號了後，tioh8 變 Uiahoe ah。
