I'm going through my translation class assignment, and I came across a symbol that I recognize, but I can't remember what it means!
It looks like る but with a loop where the third point is (if you count the starting point as the first). I can't give more of a description than that...but hopefully someone will know what I mean.
It's kind of frustrating because I know I've come across this before.
If so, it is an old hiragana, which is now obsolete.
You know there are missing kana in the "wa" line.
わ ・ ・ ・ を.
ゐ is one of them, another is ゑ.
