Not at all. Hiragana ゐ is based on cursive form of 爲, which again looks differently than the one of 双. The bottom curve is round as the one of the cursive form of 鳥, and does not resemble the cursive form of 又.
Cursive script requires a lot of studies, and average Japanese person is unable to read it. Whats more, some cursive forms are very similar to one another, and The differences are very subtle. It's a lifelong studying.
