The only difference to Shiela's answer above is that I have provided katakana because the "i" after the "u" is a small "i" ィ not イ and this does not show up in the roman alphabet version.
I am not sure of the meaning of the "xi," in Sheila's answer either. Perhaps this is some notation for the small "i"? In order to print it out of a keyboard you need to use an "l" before the "i." You could aslo use a "w" as a non standard notation that people do understand.
For exmaples and about Kiwis see below.

kiuifuru-tsu / ki-uxi
kiwi fruit : kiuifuru-tsu, ki-uxi
This is how I think it is written in romanji.
