{{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]]''.
==2014==
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 "
Four months after the book release, {{tok|jan Wesi}} published the first [[sitelen pona font|{{tp|sitelen pona}} font]], toki pona OTF.<ref>{{
==2016==
In October 2016, with feedback from {{tok|jan Tepan}} (Stephan Schneider), {{tok|[[jan Same]]}} proposed glyphs for words that were considered "extinct" as of ''The Language of Good'', and not given glyphs in the book: {{tp|[[kin]]}}, {{tp|[[kipisi]]}}, {{tp|[[monsuta]]}}, {{tp|[[namako]]}}, {{tp|[[oko]]}}, and {{tp|[[pake]]}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?t=2616|title={{tok|Sitelen pona}} glyphs for new and apocryphal words|website=[[Toki Pona Forums]]|author={{tok|[[jan Same]]}}|date=2016-10-16|access-date=2023-12-24}}</ref> Glyphs for {{tp|[[apeja]]}} (designed by Jakob Vogel) and and {{tp|[[kijetesantakalu]]}} were decided by a vote.

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 August 2021, {{tok|[[jan Lepeka]]}} proposed {{tp|sitelen pona}} for her [[Under-ConScript Unicode Registry]] (UCSUR) project, which unofficially assigns {{w|constructed writing system}}s to codepoints in the [[Unicode]] {{w|Private Use Areas}}. {{tp|sitelen pona}}'s representation in the UCSUR was updated in January and May 2022 in collaboration with {{tok|jan Tepo}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://kreativekorp.com/ucsur/charts/sitelen.html|title={{tok|Sitelen Pona}}: U+F1900 - U+F19FF|author={{tok|[[jan Lepeka]]}}, {{tok|jan Tepo}}|username=|date=|website=Kreative Korp|publisher=|access-date=8 November 2023|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.
