$\begingroup$ @Jeffrey It was renamed in the 1800s, but only in the Anglophone world. That's why ti is a drink with jam and bread $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Jeffrey "si" still exists, but it refers to G# rather than B (in C major). $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ In general, sharps are indicated in solfege by changing the vowel to "i", producing "di", "ri", "fi", "si", and "li". This obviously doesn't work for "mi" and "ti", but those notes rarely take sharps anyway, since they'd be enharmonic to "fa" and "do". $\endgroup$
