long glyph (pi)
See pi as an independent glyph in Tier 1.
As of January 2026, the Association can recommend the long or extended style of only the glyph pi as a Tier 2 option of Common Sitelen Pona. Other long glyphs currently fall under Creative Sitelen Pona.
middle dot and colon
In the dot system, you split up a word into morae: chunks that are like a syllable, but smaller. One mora is either consonant+vowel, or the -n after a vowel. By adding middle-dots after a character, you increase how many morae should be pronounced in the name. A glyph like makes up a full mora, so adding a dot adds the next mora, which is -n. But is not a full mora, so adding a dot only completes the first mora, which is si. You can also use a colon to mean the entire word should be pronounced. (Wasona 2025–2026)

Tier 3 of Common Sitelen Pona

Sorted by word, then punctuation. Representative glyphs are examples only. Appearance may vary, as decided by font designer. Definitions sorted chronologically and sometimes shortened for space or clarity.

More than five tally marks under a single glyph or combined glyph are theoretically possible but are contrived.
