Japanese From Afar

Flag semaphore is a technique that uses flags to communicate, best known for enabling sailors to talk across long distances. Below are several Japanese words written in three different ways: in a standard Japanese script called katakana, in the Latin script (the same set of letters that are used to write English), and in the Japanese version of flag semaphore. Definitions are also provided, but they are not needed to solve the problem. Knowledge of Japanese is also not needed.

E1. Below, numbered (i) through (vii), there are several more katakana characters along with their equivalents in the Latin script. Match each of these to the correct Japanese Flag Semaphore example from A through H. Each of your answers should be written as one letter (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H). Be warned: one of these eight letters will remain unused!

i) テ te    ii) ヨ yo    iii) ア a    iv) ミ mi    v) モ mo    vi) ヌ nu    vii) セ se

E2. The letter that was not used in E1 corresponds to one of the characters below. Which one?

メ me    ヰ wi    ク ku    ヘ he    ホ ho    シ si
