studying Japanese for some months now I, began translating some Japanese
sentences written on pictures or drawings. Unfortunately I came across a
drawing with handwritten kana that I cannot clearly identify.

It's quite simple to read the both right kana, being ふぁ, I suppose they are
pronounced as [Fa] and shall be a sound of relief, like "Ah" or "Phew".

But the two left kana are quite hard to identify for me, as I'm used to
computer-written signs. So I'm not even sure whether this is Katakana or
Hirakana... The first kana could either be ヤ or や (although therefore the
small dot at the top would be missing). But neither Jisho.org nor Google
Translator gave any useful hints what the lower left kana is supposed to be...
It might be ダ so the resulting term would be ヤダ [Yada]. But is that
reasonable? No Japanese dictionary knew this term. Of course it's highly
probably that this is just another term to describe a sound made by the
speaker. But [Yada]? I can't imagine a reasonable equivalent nor an emotion,
which the sound [Yada] could transmit. Thanks a lot for your help!

question
colloquial-language kana writing-identification
Handwritten kana that looks like ヤダ, but I can't find ヤダ in a dictionary
It is:

嫌(いや)だ 。  
I hate it!  
[https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/en/嫌/#je-4410](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/en/%E5%AB%8C/#je-4410)

It is written in katakana, probably for emphasis.
