The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|musi}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|musi}}}}) is a curve connected to two small circles at the upper corners. Its origin is unclear. It might depict a {{w|skipping rope}}, according to {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}},{{citation needed|date=2024-04-28}} with the circles likely representing hands or handles if so. It has also been conjectured to represent a {{w|lyre}} or a smile with rosy cheeks.<ref>{{cite etym sp}}</ref>

The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|musi}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|musi}}}}) is a curve connected to two small circles at the upper corners.

Its origin is unclear. {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}} does not remember, but says that it might depict a {{w|skipping rope}},{{citation needed|date=2024-04-28}} with the circles likely representing hands or handles if so. It has also been conjectured to represent a {{w|lyre}} or a smile with rosy cheeks.<ref>{{cite etym sp}}</ref>

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.
