The sitelen pona glyph for jaki () is a scribble, and it may be drawn in any way as long as it is recognizable. It tends to be drawn as a single stroke dense with overlaps, (mostly) curvy lines, and loops, tight corners, or zigzags. Several fonts have support for multiple alternative versions of the glyph, as well as a randomized selection.[4][5] The following is an example from linja lipamanka:
jaki1 jaki2 jaki3 jaki4 jaki5 jaki6 jaki7 jaki8 jaki9 jaki10 jaki11
However, most fonts, especially those created in the early times, lack the randomization feature, and thus, because of how influential they were, a few common versions have emerged, such as pu-style (), linja pona-style (
; also colloquially known as the "dick-butt jaki"), and JK-style (similar to the letters J and K joined together). The latter one was designed by jan Lentan.[6]
sitelen sitelen
The sitelen sitelen glyph for jaki is a corrupted fusion of the sitelen sitelen syllable glyphs for "jaki". The "body" is a k container with one too many bumps, containing a and i infixes with each one too many lines. The part containing a is similar to half of an upside-down j container, the other half oversized to form the main body of the k's shape.
