nasin pi sitelen jelo

nasin pi sitelen jelo (🛤️📎🎨🍋) or, simply, sitelen jelo is an emoji-based writing system created by waso Keli. It is a logography that builds on and tries to improve on sitelen pilin, its much more static predecessor.^[1]

As of 23 March 2024, Ajemi can be toggled to input sitelen jelo by pressing Ctrl + Shift + 1.^[2]

Guidelines[edit | edit source]

Similar to 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:^{[citation needed]}

Alternate emoji are allowed. However, avoid those that can mean two things.
More specific emoji are also allowed. For example, when talking about an octopus, you can use 🐙 instead of 🐟.
Using misleading emoji on purpose is allowed. For example, when talking about a reptile, you can use 🐸.

Names[edit | edit source]

Names are formed like in sitelen pona, by spelling out each letter with a symbol glyph that begins by the letter. The paintbrush emoji (🖌️) is used and is placed at the start and end of the name:
