The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|musi}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|musi}}}})

In {{tok|jan Sonja}}'s handwriting in {{pu|en}}, the shape of the curve resembles that of {{tp|[[lupa]]}} ({{sp|lupa}}), with only slight inward curvature at the ends. The [[font]] {{tp|[[linja pona]]}} popularized a form with a circular arc for the curve, as well as larger upper circles. Structurally, this form is often compared to the glyph for {{tp|[[mu]]}} ({{sp|mu}}) but with an open top and no dot.
=={{tp|sitelen sitelen}}==
The {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} word glyph for {{tp|musi}} ({{ss|musi}}) is a fusion of the [[sitelen sitelen#Syllable glyphs|syllable glyphs]] for "{{tp|u}}" and "{{tp|i}}" ({{ss|U I}}) with an added horizontal line.
The origin of this line is unclear. It might be taken from the consonant glyph for ''m'' ({{ss|M}}), and/or to make it look like a face.
