"juin" is either \ʒɥɛ̃\ or \ʒy.ɛ̃\
"join" is \ʒwɛ̃\
Those were my best attempts at writing what I heard on the wiktionary page, i'm not great at knowing which IPA symbols to use.. if it helps, my "oo-uh" was an attempt to represent exactly what you just put.
To my ear though, all of those sound basically the same. What do you think about the Vosges one?

What stops me from doing this, is that the sequence as a whole is nonstandard. Once you start allowing that yong = jong = joing =... , you might do the same for different month names as well. Maybe "augst" is a misspelling of "august" and so on...
I agree, it's problematic to just say they are equivalent. It may be, however, quite useful to more agressively search out joing and juing in various areas to see what can be found, including mistakes.
