Many characters in sitelen pona are static and supposed to be drawn the same way every time.

*'''jaki''': always with 5 turns and overlapping lines at (5, 2); (-2, 6); and (7,-2) coordinates. Otherwise, it could be mistaken for '''fakju''', a general word for profanities and a special exception to the (C)V(N) syllable structure.

*'''jaki''': any scribble, usually with overlaps

*'''ko''': always with 4 wobbles at (5, *2); (7, -3); (-2, 7) ; and (-4, -4) coordinates.

*'''ko''': any blobby unshapely form

*'''ni''': many use ni to point to the part ni is referencing (up, down, right, or other directions, instead of the standard downwards arrow)

*'''lete, kin''': rotation, and maybe even exact number of intersecting lines, aren't important

*'''linja, kon, telo, pakala, mun''': ~~can~~ be mirrored

*'''linja, kon, telo, pakala, mun''': cannot be mirrored or they could be confused with '''teke, soki, faka, diki, kamin, sekisi and saki.'''

*'''soweli''': the exact amount of legs ~~might~~ be ~~less~~ ~~important~~

*'''soweli''': the exact amount of legs is exactly 4. Otherwise it can be mistaken for '''kami''', the word for quantum particles.

*'''ku''': the ''toki pona'' symbol can range from a simple dot to full-fidelity
