ASCII syllabary (jan Lentan)

This keyboard layout was designed by jan Lentan based on jan Misali's old ASCII syllabary.^[1]

At the end, it completely used up all of the remaining lowercase and uppercase letters of the Latin alphabet, with the exception of V, as well as a few numbers. Which in turn made me think: how would it look as a keyboard layout? (In this version, uppercase V is also used for “lu”. After all, V is the Roman numeral for 5, and V is an easier key to reach than 5.)

Mobile 12-key keyboard (jan Lentan)

Of course, on smartphones, everything is much easier. You can use whatever layout you want. Here’s an Android-style virtual keyboard, modified to only include characters needed in toki pona (the ones shown on the upper part are the characters shown when holding the corresponding key down):^[1]
