nasin pi sitelen jelo
nasin pi sitelen jelo or sitelen jelo is an emoji-based writing system for toki pona by waso Keli that builds on and tries to improve on sitelen pilin, its much more static predecessor.
Guidelines
Like other logographic writing systems for toki pona, nasin pi sitelen jelo simply replaces each word with a symbol, taking advantage of the visual forms in the emoji Unicode range. Additional rules are:
- you can use alternate sitelen. avoid sitelen that can mean two things.
- you can use a more specific sitelen. for example, when talking about a kala pi noka mute, you can use 🐙 instead of 🐟.
- you can use a misleading sitelen on purpose. for example, when talking about a reptile, you can use 🐸.
Names
Names are formed like in sitelen pona, by spelling out each letter with a symbol glyph that begins by the letter. At the end and the beginning of the name, a paintbrush emoji 🖌️ is placed: waso Keli --> 🐦🖌️🌱🛒❄️🔦🖌️
