Fun facts

Katakana シ comes from part of the kanji 之, while hiragana し developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
シ and ツ are one of the classic katakana traps: シ has strokes that trend more horizontally, while ツ has strokes that trend more vertically.
Adding dakuten changes シ into ジ, shifting the sound to its voiced counterpart.
