I have a question. I was trying to make sense of a word that was not Japanese by typing it in Japanese. Please don't ask why it was in Hiragana, that is irrelevant.

The word had the sound 'wi' in it, so I tried to type 'wi.' It came out as うい. Is うい pronounced 'wi'?

Thank you in advance.

うぃ not うい (notice the size difference in the first い)

If you would explain what a mixed tape is, I'd be glad to help.

Right. うぃ would be pronounced "Wi" and うい would be pronounce U-I (two syllables).
