A lot of tests claim to certify the fluency of people’s Japanese, but all they really do is measure how “weeaboo” the test-takers are. They do not accurately represent proficiency in spoken Japanese or in recognizing and duplicating written Japanese characters from a Hiragana chart. My goal for this completely free Hiragana quiz is to help people see what it takes to learn to speak this language and to write the Japanese characters (as I honestly believe the hard work involved is worth the effort). I also hope to help those in the process of learning Japanese to gauge their progress. I hope my Hiragana quiz will help you move on to your next challenge: Katakana!

Well, I heard ヂ is (rarely) used too,
but I know じ is mostly common used for "ji"-Sound.
And..."kana" is collectively used for hiragana and katakana,
so the hiragana is a kana,too.

(Not offending)
Hope it helped 😊

There is a Hiragana for “ji” it’s ぢ or in kana it’s ヂ
