Sitelen Pona: U+F1900 - U+F19FF

Updated proposal by jan Tepo, 2022-01-31 and jan Lepeka, 2022-05-20

Sitelen Pona is a logographic writing system used to write the constructed language Toki Pona. Both the language and the script were created by Sonja Lang and are documented in her book, Toki Pona: The Language of Good. The section of the book describing the logography and used as a source for this proposal is made available to the public under the CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication (as specified on page 3 of the German edition, Toki Pona: Die Sprache des Guten).

The 2014 book includes 120 words in its dictionary and assigns each one a logograph. In 2021, Sonja Lang published the Toki Pona Dictionary, a collection of common phrasings for English words collected from community surveys. The survey responses included a number of community-created words not included in the original book; 17 of these were found to be in common use and designated nimi ku suli (important words from the Toki Pona Dictionary). They are generally accepted as part of the language and the community has designed logographs for them.

This proposal includes a code point for each word in Toki Pona: The Language of Good and each nimi ku suli, as well as a few other words that appear in many existing fonts.

The script has several features for formatting and combining glyphs:
