They look very similar, that's true. A handy trick that I found somewhere is to look at where the two small lines go. The lines for kata shi γ· would connect to hira γ and tsu γ would connect with γ€
Another thing that made me think it's a "tsu" is the position of diacritic symbols. On "shi" they are often above the line, while on "tsu" they are on the side of it
Deed poll was sufficient for both of those for a name change for me, as well as for the registry office two months ago. I cannot speak for changing gender though, merely name.
Lots of places are very weird about it though because their staff think we have "legal names". I switched banks over the weird bullshit mine was pulling. The number of looks my piece of A4 with a couple of signatures on it has received from staff that then have to go check with someone that it's actually how it works, my gods. No, I know it doesn't look fancy, it doesn't have to, go ask your supervisor if you don't believe me.
I was shocked that there were people confidently telling me my documents were wrong when I knew for a fact that they hadn't a clue what the law was. If it's part of your job to deal with name changes then I expect them to be trained on the subject.
The bank had its own internal definitions of what a deed poll needed to be - a definition they didn't publish anywhere and then act like I was the daft one for not knowing the specifics of their fanfic legal definitions.

I think that translates to Bazinga or Bajinga? I'm a little rusty.

You are correct on the second one

Badzunga in katakana

Isn't γγΈγ³γ bajinga/bazinga? The second kana is the shi base γ·, dzu/zu would use the tsu base γ

I see, it looked more like tsu to me

In the UK you can. We don't have a concept of legal names. We do have far too many TERFs and other nutters though, so...

Tell that to the banks and NHS who won't accept my change of name until I change it on my passport

Oh for sure like, strictly speaking it isn't necessary, as long as the people you have to deal with know that it isn't necessary
