The standard {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|epiku}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|epiku}}}}), as featured in the {{w|Esperanto}} translation of the book {{pu|en}}, is derived from the glyph for {{tp|[[pona]]}}, with [[emitters]].

The obsolete glyph for {{tp|epiku}} depicts an arrow pointing upwards ({{sp|1=<span style="font-feature-settings:'cv91';">epiku</span>|font="sitelen seli kiwen asuki"~~}} with the arrowhead being larger than that of {{tp|[[ni]]~~}}). It was included in version 4.9 of {{tp|[[linja pona]]}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://musilili.net/linja-pona/|title={{tok|linja pona}}|website={{tok|musi lili}}|author=James Flear ({{tok|jan Same}})|access-date=2023-12-09}}</ref> This glyph is more often used as a directional variant of {{tp|[[ni]]}}, and may cause confusion if used to write {{tp|epiku}}. However, it is still used in communities both inside and outside of {{tp|[[ma pona pi toki pona]]}}.<ref name="keli2023-sp"/>
