It's not too special, there are all these random rules but in the end it's basically just each kana goes to a certain syllable. I prefer to write out long vowels instead of using the macron (the line above the vowels), 1) because it's more true to the kana spelling and 2) I can't get macrons conveniently on the keyboard while typing. XD

Oh yeah and for the n kana you need to put the apostrophe there if a vowel comes next. Can't think of an example off the top of my head, but basically you'd distinguish んい from に by writing n'i instead of ni.
