The UCSUR is the "Under-ConScript Unicode Registry." It attempts to standardize the Unicode codepoints in the Private Use Areas for constructed scripts that wouldn't be accepted in Unicode.

sitelen pona was proposed for the UCSUR in August 2021 and has a specification.

There are instructions for making sitelen pona UCSUR work on your computer. In many applications, you only need to install a compatible font. If you want to type it yourself, you will also need an input method.

Defined codepoints

These will render as "missing glyph" boxes unless you have a compatible font installed, or the website or application has one embedded. You can see which fonts sona pona has embedded at MediaWiki:Common.css.

Fonts

This article needs work:

Add any other good compliant fonts from nimi Linku

If you know about this topic, you can help us by editing it. (See all)

nimi Linku has a list of fonts with information about what features they support. Look for "UCSUR-compliant" in the last column.

Some recommended sitelen pona fonts in terms of compatibility are:

Once you have installed a font, sitelen pona should start rendering in most applications that are not web-based.

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Includes OpenType ligatures that display sitelen Lasina words as sitelen pona. If you type using this feature, the underlying text does not use UCSUR codepoints, which you may or may not want. For similar behavior that actually converts text to UCSUR codepoints, you need an input method.

Input methods

This article needs work:

Add input methods detailed on the GitHub guide

If you know about this topic, you can help us by editing it. (See all)

Web-based text converters exist: Hello React!, ilo lili pi sitelen pona. These require opening a website every time you want to access sitelen pona characters.

Application support

Discord

This article needs work:

Describe Android tutorial mentioned on the GitHub guide

If you know about this topic, you can help us by editing it. (See all)

Discord must be modified to add sitelen pona font support. This is against its Terms of Service, and may cause action to be taken against your Discord account.

The main way to add compatibility is to install sitelen pona fonts onto your computer, then add them to the CSS font stack.

:root {
    --font-primary: "gg sans","Noto Sans","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"linja-nanpa","Fairfax HD","insa pi supa lape";
    --font-display: "gg sans","Noto Sans","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"linja-nanpa","Fairfax HD","insa pi supa lape";
    --font-headline: "ABC Ginto Nord","Noto Sans","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"linja-nanpa","Fairfax HD","insa pi supa lape";
    --font-code: Consolas,"Andale Mono WT","Andale Mono","Lucida Console","Lucida Sans Typewriter","DejaVu Sans Mono","Bitstream Vera Sans Mono","Liberation Mono","Nimbus Mono L",Monaco,"Courier New",Courier,monospace,"linja-nanpa","Fairfax HD","insa pi supa lape";
}

This CSS can be added using Powercord, under User Settings → Themes → Quick CSS.

For the web version of Discord, you can use a standard custom stylesheet extension like Stylus. Be sure that the new stylesheet applies to URLs on the domain discord.com, rather than the URL for a specific page or channel.

[lig-1] 1.0 ^1.1 Includes OpenType ligatures that display sitelen Lasina words as sitelen pona. If you type using this feature, the underlying text does not use UCSUR codepoints, which you may or may not want. For similar behavior that actually converts text to UCSUR codepoints, you need an input method.
