=={{tp|sitelen pona}}==
[[File:Kin - linja pona.svg|thumb|60x60px|{{tp|kin}} in {{tp|[[linja pona]]}}]]
The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|kin}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|kin}}}}) is derived from an {{w|exclamation mark}} with an {{w|asterisk}} (*) in place of the dot. The rotation and number of spokes on the asterisk is unimportant. The shape may be influenced from the {{w|Star (glyph)|star}} as a symbol for birth or a means of highlighting or {{w|Favorites|favoriting}}, and the asterisk as a {{w|Multiplication#Notation|multiplication sign}} or {{w|wildcard character}}; it seems to only coincidentally resemble the glyph for {{tp|[[lete]]}}. The punctuation stem can be drawn upright ({{sp|1=<span style="font-feature-settings:'ss16';">kin</span>|font="sitelen seli kiwen asuki"}}) or at a diagonal ({{sp|1=<span style="font-feature-settings:'ss17';">kin</span>|font="sitelen seli kiwen asuki"}}).
The glyph for {{tp|kin}} was designed in October 2016, at the suggestion of {{tok|jan Kipo}}. {{tok|[[jan Same]]}}'s original proposal was a circle (from the glyph for {{tp|[[ijo]]}}) with two horizontal lines below, which could be interpreted as emphasis underlines or the glyph for {{tp|[[sama]]}}. {{tok|jan Same}} later suggested using a star for {{tp|kin}}. {{tok|jan Tepan}} refined this into "an exclamation mark with an asterisk instead of the dot", influenced by the glyph for {{tp|[[a]]}}, despite the contributors' hesitance to reuse the punctuation stem design.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?p=15245|title=Re: {{tok|Sitelen pona}} glyphs for new and apocryphal words|website=Toki Pona Forums|author={{tok|jan Same}}|date=2016-10-16|access-date=2023-12-04}}</ref> This version was included in version 1.0 of {{tp|[[linja pona]]}}.
