{{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} was proposed for the UCSUR in August 2021 and updated throughout 2022.<ref name="UCSUR proposal">{{cite web|url=https://kreativekorp.com/ucsur/charts/sitelen.html|title={{tok|Sitelen Pona}}: U+F1900 - U+F19FF|website=Kreative Korp|access-date=8 November 2023}}</ref> This has led to better encoding standardization across later [[font]]s, and is a rough proof of concept for proper Unicode support. However, due to technical advancements among community fontmakers, some UCSUR codepoints are already discouraged in favor of {{w|OpenType}} features and are not to be proposed for Unicode.
{{Clear}}

==Codepoints==
The following table includes the defined codepoints for the block {{tok|Sitelen Pona}} (U+F1900–U+F19FF). It consists of all {{tp|[[nimi pu]]}} and {{tp|[[nimi ku suli]]}}, as well as four {{tp|[[nimi ku lili]]}} ({{tp|[[pake]]}}, {{tp|[[apeja]]}}, {{tp|[[majuna]]}}, and {{tp|[[powe]]}}). It also features punctuation and format controls. Without proper rendering support, you may see {{w|Specials (Unicode block)#Replacement character|question marks, boxes, or other symbols}}.

The highlighted codepoints are for discouraged methods of encoding [[cartouche]]s, [[long pi|long {{tp|pi}}]]{{,}} and other [[long glyph]]s.

===Discord===

====Desktop app====
In order to add font support for {{tp|sitelen pona}}, the {{w|Discord}} app must be modified. This goes against its Terms of Service and may cause action to be taken against your Discord account.

For the web version of Discord, you can use a standard custom stylesheet extension like Stylus.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/openstyles/stylus|title={{tok|sitelen pona}} UCSUR guide!!!|website=GitHub|name=ReveredOxygen|access-date=8 November 2023}}</ref> Be sure that the new stylesheet applies to URLs on the domain discord.com, rather than the URL for a specific page or channel.
