How do you spell the sounds "chu" and "ju"?
They don't exist in the alphabet tables.
Those involve "glide" rules. You take the root sound ("chi" and "ji" in this case) and then add a small "y" character next to it to produce the sound. So "chu" is chi+small yu, and the same with ju. If you wanted cho, it'd be chi+small yo. This works for basically all consonant+i characters.
For visual reference, since I am too lazy to set-up my Japanese keyboard input, go
here.
Scroll down to the glide section to see what they look like when written.
