====Dot alterations====
The inner dots are sometimes arranged diagonally, vertically, or noncollinearly (in a triangular configuration). Rarely, fewer dots are used. This is often limited to two dots. A one-dotted {{tp|sitelen}}, as in the {{tp|[[sitelen pona pona]]}} [[writing system]], is generally found too different to be recognizable in {{tp|sitelen pona}}.

Several fonts combine these strategies. For example, the pixel-based fonts {{tp|[[insa pi supa lape]]}}, {{tp|[[linja leko]]}}, and {{tp|[[sitelen pona kiwen]]}} use two vertical dots. The thick-line font {{tp|linja Kita}} uses two diagonal dots.
 
====Box alterations====
An alternative strategy is to remove the outer box. [[Tokiponist]]sIt whois aremore veryrecognizable familiar withwhen {{tp|sitelen}} is the [[nimimodifier]] sinin a [[merged glyph]]}}, mightsuch mistakeas the ellipsis alonelogo for [[we (particle)|{{tp|we}}[[telo sitelen]]}} ({{sp|we1telo-sitelen}}),. {{aThe category|we1}}7-pixel-wide andfonts [[nonstandardSevenish]] [[particle]]. It is more recognizable whenand "{{tptok|sitelen pona}} isPMD sky font" use a similar design where the [[modifier]]horizontal instrokes become bracket-shaped. This leaves a [[mergedpixel glyph]],of suchnegative asspace around the logoellipsis, forwhile still implying vertical strokes through the {{tpw|[[teloGestalt sitelen]]psychology|gestalt}} ({{sp|telo-sitelen}})law of closure.
 
For the {{tt|[[tuki tiki]]}} word {{tt|titi}}, which is derived from Toki Pona {{tp|sitelen}}, its {{tt|[[titi pula]]}} glyph ({{sps|&#xF1C60;}}) removes only the vertical strokes. This glyph could potentially be recognized as the word {{tp|sitelen}} in {{tp|sitelen pona}}, though there is a chance it could be read as a merged glyph for {{tp|[[sama]] sitelen}}.
 
The 7-pixel-wide fonts [[Sevenish]] and "{{tok|sitelen pona}} PMD sky font" use a similar design where the horizontal strokes become bracket-shaped. This leaves a pixel of negative space around the ellipsis, while still implying vertical strokes through the {{w|Gestalt psychology|gestalt}} law of closure.
