How to write characters containing the ǚ pinyin symbol in most common Chinese Input Methods?

Question

I am using four different input methods for typing 汉字. Most of them share the same principles for translating what you type in pinyin to Chinese characters. But I am unable to figure out how to type in pinyin words with an U with Umlaut like ǚ, for example 女.

I am using: Google Pinyin Input in Android, and Chinese Sun Pinyin, ibus m17n and ibus-pinyin in Ubuntu

Is there some common way used to type it?

sometimes, like in google translate, use v instead. so "nv" = 女. — Lenny, Mar 19 '20 at 22:19

As pinyin doesn't use the letter v, then words containing the u with umlaut can be written with v key, then combined with the number keys to get different tones.

For example:

v+1 = ǖ
v+2 = ǘ
v+3 = ǚ
v+4 = ǜ
v+5 = ü
