{{tp|sitelen pona}} notably did not exist for much of the [[pre-pu|pre-{{tp|pu}}]] era. The [[Toki Pona logo]], which dates to the beginning of Toki Pona ("2001 probably", according to {{tok|jan Sonja}}), was worked into {{tp|sitelen pona}} rather than descending from it.<ref>{{cite Discord|name={{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}|username=sonjalang|url=//discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1078420779231875203/1180271763398086716|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|thread={{tok|sona.pona.la}}|quote=the emblem or logo of toki pona is pretty much from the very beginning, 2001 probably. when i created {{tok|sitelen pona}} many years later, shortly before publishing {{tok|pu}}, i made sure it would be retro-compatible and mean "{{tok|toki pona}}"|retrieved=2023-12-01}}</ref> Nonetheless, the logo likely influenced many features of {{tp|sitelen pona}}, such as [[combined glyph]]s and the [[emitters]] [[radical]].

Work on {{tp|sitelen pona}} began relatively shortly before the publication of the book ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]''.

In 2014, {{tok|jan Sonja}} published ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]'', including a chapter with a full description of {{tp|sitelen pona}}. Because the name was the same as that of an [[sitelen pona pi jan Mimoku|existing writing system]], she asked jan Mimoku if she could use the name.<ref>{{cite Discord|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/301377942062366741/936794914358984764|channel={{tok|toki-pona}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|author=jan Mimoku|username=lapingvino|access-date=2024-02-15|quote=fun fact: before {{tok|sitelen pona pu}}, I had a script {{tok|sitelen pona}}. {{tok|jan Sonja}} asked me if she could use the name for her script. so mine is now {{tok|sitelen pona pi jan Mimoku}}}}</ref> The book refers to the writing system in English as {{w|Hieroglyph (disambiguation)|hieroglyphs}},<ref>{{cite pu|104–111}}</ref><ref group="lower-alpha"> The term "hieroglyph" is now almost always clipped to "glyph" and used to refer to specific characters, with {{tp|sitelen pona}} being loaned to name the writing system as a whole.</ref> which lends credence to the script being partly inspired by {{w|Egyptian hieroglyphs}}.
Four months after the book release, {{tok|jan Wesi}} published the first [[sitelen pona font|{{tp|sitelen pona}} font]], toki pona OTF.<ref>{{

On 28 April 2020, u/AcipenserSturio posted the results of a poll showing community opinions on new {{tp|pu}} words as well as non-official words created before and after the publication of {{tp|pu}}. There were only 86 participants, however, and a larger follow-up poll was planned.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/g9ne0s/survey_results_heres_how_real_these_tp_words_are/</ref>
In July 2020, {{tok|nimi Elemenopi}} proposed several glyphs for non-{{tp|pu}} words on the [[r/tokipona]] subreddit.<ref>{{cite web|url=//reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/hxzvew/i_made_a_sitelen_pona_glyph_for_every_nonpu_word|title=I made a {{tok|sitelen pona}} glyph for every non-{{tok|pu}} word in the "{{tok|nimi ale pona}}" dictionary|author={{tok|nimi Elemenopi}}|username=u/ElemenopiTheSequel|date=2020-07-26|website=[[r/tokipona]]|publisher=Reddit|access-date=2023-12-28|quote=}}</ref> As of August 2020, {{tok|nimi Elemenopi}} created the [[r/OffThePu|r/OffThe{{tok|Pu}}]] subreddit and compiled a list of glyphs for words in {{tp|[[nimi ale]]}} section 1b,<ref>{{cite web|url=//reddit.com/r/OffThePu/comments/iahhtc/here_are_the_official_glyphs_for_the_1b_words_in|title=Here are the official glyphs for the 1b words in the {{tok|{{abbr|NA|nimi ale}}}}|author={{tok|nimi Elemenopi}}|username=u/ElemenopiTheSequel|date=2020-08-15|website=[[r/OffThePu|r/OffThe{{tok|Pu}}]]|publisher=Reddit|access-date=2023-12-28|quote=}}</ref> with an updated list in November 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=//reddit.com/r/OffThePu/comments/k43bxj/a_better_version_of_the_1b_glyphs|title=A better version of the 1b glyphs|author={{tok|nimi Elemenopi}}|username=u/ElemenopiTheSequel|date=2020-11-30|website=[[r/OffThePu|r/OffThe{{tok|Pu}}]]|publisher=Reddit|access-date=2023-12-28|quote=}}</ref>

On 3 February 2024, {{tok|jan Sonja}} published the first book in the {{su}} series, {{Oz}}, written bilingually in {{tp|sitelen pona}} and English. It uses the {{tp|[[nasin nanpa]]}} font,<ref>{{cite Oz}}</ref> and some variant glyphs, including a previously little-known numeric {{tp|[[mute]]}} glyph ({{sp|mute2}}). Variants of {{tp|mute}} and {{tp|[[sewi]]}} are used to clarify [[semantic]] meaning,<ref>{{cite notes on su}}</ref> which, while likely not unheard of before, was an uncommon style compared to speakers preferring a variant glyph in all cases. ''Oz'' also spotlighted a preexisting<ref>{{cite web|url=//oddlingo.github.io/einstein.pdf|title={{sp|sona nasa pi (jan <nowiki>[a ni sona a ni]</nowiki>)}}|trans-title=Einstein's strange theory|language=tok|author={{tok|jan Tepu}}|username=|date=Feb 10, 2022|website=Readings in Toki Pona|publisher=|access-date=2024-03-15|quote=}}</ref> but little-known style of shortening [[name]]s to their first glyph after their first occurrence in a given chapter.
