    Is this a kanji? Or do the lines on the bottom have there own meaning?
  • duburasu
    is it katakana or hiragana?
    I`m confuse?
    don`t know how to use that one?
  • boostryan
    Ok so from my research found out that ゑ is hiragana and ヱ is katakana, but since we dont use 'we' anymore since it sound like え.

    It is hiragana. It is one of the 48 hiragana, just that only 46 are really in modern use.

    ゐ "wi" and ゑ "we" just are not really used at all anymore. Also, when you are doing katakana, you will encounter them there too: ヰ "wi", ヱ "we", and also ヴ "vu".

    You can still find the katakana "we" in the popular brand of Japanese beer, ヱビス, which is confusingly romanised as "Yebisu" lol.
