How to understand the pronunciation as listed in Wiktionary
The Wiktionary entry as I found it looks as follows:

> **Pronunciation**
>
>   * (Tokyo) わ[たし]【HH】 [wàtáshí] (Heiban – [0])
>   * IPA: [[ɰᵝa̠ta̠ɕi]]
>

Let's take a look what this means:

  * (Tokyo)  
_means the listed pronunciation is for the Tokyo dialect_

  * わ[たし]【HH】  
_pitch accent notation with_ [◯]【H】 _indicating a high pitch_

  * [wàtáshí]  
_indicating pitch accent in a romanization (using the grave and acute accent
diacritics on the vowel, with the acute accent`´` indicating high pitch)_

  * (Heiban – [0])  
_indicating that the pitch accent is of the heiban-gata type, i.e. first mora
( "syllable") has a low pitch and all subsequent morae have a high pitch — in
dictionaries this would be denoted_ [0] _since the number in brackets
indicates after which mora the drop in pitch occurs (and in わたし there is no
drop in pitch)_

  * IPA: [[ɰᵝa̠ta̠ɕi]]  
_IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) notation with_

    * [/ɰ/] _being an[A-type sound](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C9%B0) (anticipating the -a of wa),_
    * [/ᵝ/] _indicating that for the sound the lips are closed a little (a type of[secondary articulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_articulation))_
    * [/a̠/] _being a "standard" A-type sound, that is [retracted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_articulation#Advanced_and_retracted) (i.e. pronounced further back in the mouth than the_ [[a]] _sound) as indicated by the minus sign diacritic below the_ [/a/]
    * [/ɕ/] _being the usual SH-type sound in Japanese_
