How to write Heidi in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Heidi becomes ハイジ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ハ | ha | |
| イ | i | |
| ジ | ji |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ハイジ・スミス for Heidi Smith.
