r/OffThePu
r/OffThePu (acronym: OTP) is a subreddit where nimi Elemenopi created and collated proposals for sitelen pona glyphs for words not present or differentiated in the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good (lipu pu). The name is a pun on the phrase "off the wall", inspired by the slogan of Vans.[1] Several of the glyphs proposed on r/OffThePu continue to be used or implemented into fonts, and nimi Elemenopi considers his glyph ideas public-domain.[1]
