ひ (hi)
Pagbigkas
Ang karakter na ひ ay kumakatawan sa pantig na 'hi', isang malambot na 'h' na sinusundan ng 'i'. Bahagi ng は-row. Sa mabilis na pagsasalita, ang 'h' bago ang 'i' ay maaaring marinig na bahagyang mas mahangin kaysa 'h' sa Ingles.
Gabay sa Bawat Guhit
Ang ひ ay isinusulat sa iisang guhit. Magsimula sa kaliwa-itaas na may maikling pababang guhit, pagkatapos ay sumuyod pababa at pakanan sa mahabang nakakurbang linya na umaarko sa ibaba ng karakter, sa wakas ay umaakyat patungong kanang-itaas at nagtatapos sa maliit na kawit. Ang hugis ay parang ngiti o mababaw na mangkok.
