Thesedays, we often use "ใด" (vu)
ใดใก<=>va
ใดใฃ<=>vi
ใด<=>v, vu
ใดใง<=>ve
ใดใฉ<=>vo
For example, ใจใดใกใณใฒใชใชใณ(EVANGELION), or ใดใกใผใธใใข(Virginia)
They are used, like other Katakana, to write foreign words or express sounds

From what I heard, you use Katakana when writing foreign (not originated in Japan) words, like "bideo" and Hirigana when writing about native words like "onigiri"

Japanese mainly use Hiragana or Kanji is what I heard, but it's still important to learn at least a little of all three

This looks interesting. I have recently made a kana system facilitated for international use that also fixes some inconsistencies with the system when used to write japanese. I posted it into omniglot forum.

am i the only one looking at this going "WTF, I'm so confused"

Katakana are syllables, each with their own character. The left chart shows them all. You form the syllables by taking the consonant sound on the left and the vowel sound up top. So "ka" is ใซ, "mo" is ใข and so on.
Japanese also has a different pronunciation for some of the -i and -u syllables: si is shi, ti is chi, etc. So sushi in katakana would be ในใท, except that because sushi is an actual Japanese word it wouldn't be written in katakana in the first place.
The Y series only has three sounds: ya, yu and yo. -i syllables pair with the y series to create new sounds. So ki (ใญ) and ya (ใค) make the sound "kya". That's what the yellow charts show.
Japanese also has things called "ten ten" (dot dot) (alternatively, dakuten if you want to be formal) that also change the sounds. They generally just change the force of the air you use to make the sounds, if that makes sense. So "ka" goes to "ga" with the ten ten. If you say them both after each other, you'll notice that your mouth makes mostly the same action; "ga" is just a little bit softer. The same applies to "ta" and "da".
The H series also has a little extra; it has a maru (meaning circle)(handakuten for formal language), changing the sound to a P. So ใ would actually have three sounds, depending on what's going on in the upper right corner: ha, ba, and pa.
And that's basically the run-down of hiragana and katakana. It would be so embarrassing if the only reason you were confused was because of the way it was organised or something...
