Hello I have to learn japanese phonemes and phones, but I don't really understand some things.
My professor gave me a sheet which is the 日本語音節表 (国際音声記号による) so there is a table with what I thought were phonemes but below there are explications and my teacher uses the square brackets [] so they must be phones.
But on Wikipedia, I found for example the word 蓋 which is written [ɸɯ̥ᵝta], whereas on my sheet it is simply written
[ɸɯta] with a little square below the ɯ... so I was wondering if this kind of symbols were actually useful or not ? Will the teacher think its correct if I don't use the ᵝ or not ?
Also if I write "futa" with japanese phonemes, which one is correct between /huta/ and /hɯta/ ?
And my last question is, where can I find a table with a list of japanese phonemes ? I don't understand how I can write for exemple "nihongo" with phonemes.
This might look like a simple question but I find it so confusing with all these terms bilabial and all, I don't know if it's important to know whether one consonant is voiced or not for example
Anyway, thanks
