What does hiragana "ゐ"　sound?
I know this hiragana several days ago but its pronounciation puzzles me.

According to its spell, it should be "wi" (うぃ), but I've seen some people read it as "i". So which is correct?

And why it's not concluded in the hiragana chart?

Thanks

Answer

ゐ existed in the past, long time ago as one of Hiragana, but now it is replaced by
い. Pronunciation is the same as い( yi). You can find ゐ only in the classic book.

Answer

首先，我想纠正一下的是，假名里面并没有wi这个发音，其次，如果是手写体的话，确实不存在“ゐ”这样的写法，不过看起来还是和み（mi）或是ぬ（nu）比较像。希望我的答案能给您一点帮助。
