Simple hiragana question

There is a difference between Ojiisan and Ojisan. and how it’s pronounced.

Ojiisan おじいさん - grandfather
Ojisan おじさん - uncle

How it’s shown as romaji is a different story. But I’ve seen it both ways depending on if they are talking about a grandfather or uncle or older person.

It’s also the similar with Grandmother and Aunt.

Here is the link that shows the difference between the two.
