Writing Katakana for the first time ever.
Please have a look at my writing of Katakana Characters. Please correct me if I've made an error. I think, consistent writing is still the key to learn any language. Nonetheless, I wish to be able to read, write and speak Japanese as fluently as possible. This is one of my first baby steps ever into reaching that goal. And hopefully, one day, I'll get there..
Edit: I'm not sure why Italki is being difficult and rotating the image on it's own. I apologize for any inconveniences. But i'm not sure how to fix the issue. Please save the image and rotate it on your end...

Kara: I suppose a little extra learning never hurts anybody. You're right and thank you for your input as well. Really broadens my perspective as to how these characters are utilized in even names as well!

If you have already memorised ” ヰ” "ヱ", it will not hurt you. Apart from whisky and beer as Shimpei mentioned above, there are still quite a few elderly whose names have those letters. My own grand mother's name is "ナツヱ", too.

Jeff: Thank you for correction. I'll make sure to reflect back on it, when practicing how to write Katakana again and thank you for your kind words. The path is bumpy and dark at the beginning, but it will be smooth and bright after i'm done laying the groundworks.
Shimpei: I see. Although i'm a Gin guy through and through. If i ever came to Japan, i'll definitely try out the aformentioned beverages!!

Other than the above commentaries...."Ta" should have a shorter left slant タand the top of "chi" should be slanted チ instead of being horizontal 干.
Good luck to your beginning road to Japanese :)

Exactly, as Chizuko said, those 2 characters ヰ and ヱ are very old. We never use these characters in daily life. But, if you can enjoy alcohol and if you come to Japan, you will see these 2 characters in NIKKA WHISKY （ニッカウヰスキー）and YEBISU BEER（ヱビスビール）. Haha.
