TheA proposed {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|omekapo}} ({{sp|omekapo}}) is derived from the glyph for {{tp|[[kala]]}} ({{sp|kala}}) with [[emitters]]. It was designed by {{tok|nimi Elemenopi}} in July 2020. He also proposed an alternative design based on the [[combined glyph]] for {{tp|kala pona}}, representing the mouth wrapping properly around the front of the fish so that only half of the curve is visible. In the proposals, both glyphs were drawn facing left, but they are usually drawn facing right instead.<ref>{{cite web|url=//reddit.com/r/OffThePu/comments/i8l0r9/which_is_the_better_glyph_for_omekapo|title=Which is the better glyph for {{tok|omekapo}}?|author={{tok|nimi Elemenopi}}|username=u/ElemenopiTheSequel|date=2020-08-12|website=[[r/OffThePu|r/OffThe{{tok|Pu}}]]|publisher=Reddit|access-date=2023-12-28|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=//reddit.com/r/OffThePu/comments/iahhtc/here_are_the_official_glyphs_for_the_1b_words_in|title=Here are the official glyphs for the 1b words in the {{tok|{{abbr|NA|nimi ale (pona)}}}}|author={{tok|nimi Elemenopi}}|username=u/ElemenopiTheSequel|date=2020-08-15|website=[[r/OffThePu|r/OffThe{{tok|Pu}}]]|publisher=Reddit|access-date=2023-12-28|quote=[Key: black] = original, made by me}}</ref>
