ASCII syllabary (jan Lentan)[edit | edit source]
In 2022, jan Lentan developed an experimental keyboard layout, inspired by jan Misali's toki pona ASCII syllabary.[1][2] It is currently not available for download, either for desktop or mobile.
jan Lentan sets out the following guidelines for his system:
- None of the lowercase characters for existing letters should used.
- Syllables in the form jV use the capital version of their respective vowel.
- If Cu syllable uses a capital letter, the corresponding Ci is its lowercase version.
- If Co syllable uses a capital letter, the corresponding Ca is its lowercase version.
- The number keys 1, 2, 3, and 5 are used for wan, tu, mute, and luka, respectively (as in their first mora of the words).
- The words li and mi are mapped to J and I keys, respectively.
- The syllable lu is additionally mapped to the V key for easy accessibility.

Sitelen Pona Keyboard Layout (jan Lepeka)[edit | edit source]
In 2022, jan Lepeka created a sitelen pona keyboard layout in which keys are mapped to each UCSUR codepoint. Glyphs are typed with no modifier keys, ⇧ Shift, AltGr (Linux, Windows) or ⌥ Option (macOS), or both, to access progressively rarer words.[6]
Toki Pona Keyboard (Timeo Pochin)[edit | edit source]
The Toki Pona Keyboard created by Timeo San Pochin is a virtual keyboard app for Android[7] that resembles Japanese smartphone input. Despite the sitelen pona keycaps, it inserts plain-text sitelen Lasina, which only appears as sitelen pona in fonts that support ASCII transcription.
