==Semantic space==
The [[semantic space]] of {{tp|pona}} includes positive qualities, especially those that are coherent with [[Toki Pona]]'s [[philosophy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=//lipamanka.gay/essays/what-is-pona|title=what is “pona?”|author={{tok|[[lipamanka]]}}|username=|date=|website=lipamanka.gay|publisher=|access-date=2024-05-07|quote=}}</ref> It covers ideas of goodness, helpfulness, and peace and calm. It is an [[antonym]] of {{tp|[[ike]]}} ("bad").

{{tp|pona}} can also refer to things related to the Toki Pona language:. This treats Toki Pona ({{lit|the language of good}}) as a language that is {{tp|pona}} by definition.
 
{{Example
Line 88:
The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|pona}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|pona}}}}) represents a closed smiling mouth.
 
It is an upside down version of the glyph for {{tp|[[ponaike]]}}. It is oftenusually written wider than tall to make it more clearly distinct from {{tp|[[lupa]]}}.
 
It was designed in such a way that the preexisting [[Toki Pona logo]] would be reverse compatible as a composite glyph for {{tp|[[toki]] pona}} ({{sp|toki-pona}}).<ref name="2001 probably">{{cite Discord|name={{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}|username=sonjalang|url=//discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1078420779231875203/1180271763398086716|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|thread={{tok|sona.pona.la}}|quote=the emblem or logo of toki pona is pretty much from the very beginning, 2001 probably. when i created {{tok|sitelen pona}} many years later, shortly before publishing {{tok|pu}}, i made sure it would be retro-compatible and mean "{{tok|toki pona}}"|retrieved=2023-12-01}}</ref>
 
=={{tp|sitelen sitelen}}==
The {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} word glyph for {{tp|pona}} ({{ss|pona}}) is derived from the [[Toki Pona logo]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/acknowledgements/|title={{tok|sitelen sitelen}} acknowledgements and etymology|author=[[Jonathan Gabel|Gabel, Jonathan]]|date=2012|website=jonathangabel.com|access-date=16 November 2023}}</ref> with an emphasized smile, the three bumps on top being equivalent to the [[emitters]] of the logo.
 
In small writing, the "lips" of the {{tp|pona}} glyph may be simplified away, leaving a single line for the smile.<ref>{{cite web|name=[[Jonathan Gabel|Gabel, Jonathan]]|date=n.d.|url=https://jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/dictionaries/drawing-steps|title=drawing dictionary: step by step|website=jonathangabel.com|access-date=2024-03-11}}</ref>
