[[File:Gender glyphs from jan Deni.png|thumb|alt=3 sitelen pona glyphs, proposed by jan Deni. All three are formed by a circle, with an uppercase latin character overlaid on the bottom part of the circle. For mije, a "J" is used. For meli, and "L" is used. For tonsi, a "T" is used. |Alternate gender glyphs proposed by jan Deni]] |

My proposal for alternate gender glyphs. I created them using these goals: |
||
* Recognizable: Use a recognizable radical. I used the circle from "jan" |
|||
* Unbiased: Should not be based on stereotypical features (broad shoulders, long hair, hijab), or astrological/gender signs like ♂/♀ |
|||
* Memorable: Include a memory aid, since gender and the glyphs to represent it are arbitrary. I used unique latin characters taken from each toki pona word. J for mije, L for meli, T for tonsi. |
|||
* Unambiguous: The shapes should not be confusable for a combination of stacked or nested glyphs. To avoid reading anything like "ijo X", I took the latin character and made it overlap with the circle. Normal glyph stacking never does this, so it's unambiguosu |
