Same shape as its plain kana — add the dakuten (゛, two short strokes) in the top-right, which voices it: “ji”.
ぢ is romanised “di” in the Nihon-shiki system, but in modern Japanese it is pronounced exactly like じ (ji). It survives in only a handful of words, such as 縮む (chidjimu) and compounds where ち is voiced — so you will meet じ far more often.
