The phonetic spelling of “she” is written as shee, but how can its weak sound form be written?

I think you are overthinking this.
I am a native speaker and I usually only pronounce "she" like "sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee",
unless it is part of a contraction like "she'll"
For example:
"She'll be arriving shortly."
Good luck!

I'm a native US speaker and I only know one pronunciation of "she."
I tried saying sentences with the word "she" as fast as I could, and in as relaxed a way as I could, and I still pronounced it "shee."
To confirm this, I checked an American dictionary, and noticed that as I expected, there are two pronunciations for "the," but only one for "she."
I believe there is only one pronunciation of the word "she."

I agree with Ian. What do you mean by weak form? I'm not aware of any other forms of 'she'.
