The system is described in the book {{lipu pu|en}},<ref>{{cite pu|104&ndash;111}}</ref> which also features {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/sitelen sitelen|sitelen sitelen]]}}. As a logography, each word is written with its own symbol. It is typically written from left to right, in horizontal lines from top to bottom.

Use of punctuation in {{tp|sitelen pona}} is not officially defined. In general, the main use of punctuation is to mark the boundary between sentences. Most people use only a sentence boundary mark, and some will use a form of quotation marking.
 
Line 192 ⟶ 214:
 
===Sentence boundaries===
The only full {{tp|sitelen pona}} sentence in {{tp|pu}}, seen below, is written with no ending punctuation. This style can extend to multiple sentences. The end of a sentence can be indicated by simply adding a [[#Word spaces|space]], or starting the next sentence on a separate line (as used in {{tp|su}}).

{{Example
|ma Kanata li suli.
Line 199 ⟶ 223:
|ma [kasi alasa nasin awen telo a] li suli
}}
<translate>
 
Some speakers use explicit sentence-ending punctuation. The most common choices are a Latin-style period (.), the {{w|Interpunct|middle dot}} (·), and a {{wikt|。|CJK-style circular period}} (。). A common argument for the middle dot is that {{tp|sitelen pona}} is typically written centered around a midline, rather than a {{w|Baseline (typography)|baseline}}. {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/nasin sitelen kalama|nasin sitelen kalama]]}} also uses the middle dot inside [[#Cartouchescartouches|cartouches]].
 
====Question marks====
[[File:seme - sitelen pona pu (monospaced).svg|thumb|x180px|The glyph for {{tp|[[seme]]}} ({{sp|seme}}) already looks just like a question mark.]]
 
</translate>
A question mark is largely unnecessary. Most standard [[question]]s are already marked with {{tp|[[seme]]}} ({{sp|seme}}) or the pattern {{tp|X [[ala]] X}}. Due to the glyph for {{tp|seme}}, using a Latin-style question mark in {{tp|sitelen pona}} causes confusion rather than solving any, and is considered bad style.

A question mark is largely unnecessary. Most standard [[Special:MyLanguage/question|question]]s are already marked with {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/seme|seme]]}} ({{sp|seme}}) or the pattern {{tp|X [[Special:MyLanguage/ala|ala]] X}}. Due to the glyph for {{tp|seme}}, using a Latin-style question mark in {{tp|sitelen pona}} causes confusion rather than solving any, and is considered bad style.
 
A dedicated question mark would only be needed to clarify whether the phrase {{tp|X anu X}} marks a statement or question. However, the majority of proficient speakers nowadays refrain from using this construction, so that all questions are explicitly marked in all modalities of speech.
Line 212 ⟶ 240:
 
===Colons===
 
Similar to the Latin script, {{w|Colon (puncutation)|colon}}s are frequently used in {{tp|sitelen pona}}. A colon can be written centered between the words on either side ({{sp|{{translucent|ijo}}:: {{translucent|ijo}}}}), or closer to the word on its left ({{sp|{{translucent|ijo}}: {{translucent|ijo}}}}).
 
Line 217 ⟶ 246:
 
<blockquote>
</translate>
{{sp|mi wile e ni:: sina pilin-pona}}
 
{{sp|mi wile e ni2:: sina pilin-pona}}
{{sp|mi wile e ni2 {{idsp}}
 
{{sp|mi wile e ni2 {{idsp}}<translate> sina pilin-pona}}
</blockquote>
 
</translate>
{{tp|[[nasin sitelen kalama]]}} also uses the colon inside cartouches.
{{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/nasin sitelen kalama|nasin sitelen kalama]]}}
<translate> also uses the colon inside cartouches.
 
===Quotation marks===
For marking quoted text, Latin-style {{w|quotation mark}}s are commonly used, but {{w|Quotation mark#Chinese, Japanese and Korean|corner brackets}} ({{sp|te to}}) are widespread, being symmetrical around the midline. These glyphs are also used for the quotative {{tp|nimi sin}}, [[te and to|{{tp|te}} and {{tp|to}}]]. It may be unclear whether to read them as words or punctuation. However, when used as punctuation, a reader may interpret them as {{tp|te}} and {{tp|to}} without misunderstanding the author's intent.

===Word spaces===
 
Several fonts with [[ASCII transcription]] expose a {{w|Ligature (writing)|ligature}} using the string <code>zz</code> to produce a glyph-sized space character, for cases where the author wants the text to be visually indented or separated. This is best rendered using the {{w|ideographic space}} (<span style="background: lightblue;">{{idsp}}</span>) instead. This is especially important for people who use {{w|screen readers}}, which will read "zz" out loud rather than silently skipping over it.

An alternative may be typing a double space, which is even more common in fonts to get a word-sized space. However, this can cause problems on websites, because HTML condenses whitespace.

The glyph of a head word may be combined with the glyph of one modifier. These are called [[Special:MyLanguage/combined glyph|combined glyph]]s<ref>{{cite pu|110}}</ref> or compound glyphs. There are 2 main ways of doing this:
* Stacked: The modifier glyph goes above the head glyph. {{tp|kala lili}} becomes {{sp|kala^lili}}.
* Scaled: The modifier glyph goes inside of the head glyph. {{tp|kala lili}} becomes {{sp|kala*lili}}. To allow for scalar combination, the head glyph generally must contain a single, sufficiently large, main {{w|negative space}}.
 
==Extended glyphs==
 
</translate>
{{Main|Extended glyphs}}
<translate>
 
An extended form of the word {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/pi|pi]]}} ({{sp|pi}}) is very common. The low horizontal line continues under all glyphs in the {{tp|pi}} phrase ({{sp|pi ({{translucent|ijo ijo}})}}). Other characters such as [[Special:MyLanguage/preposition|preposition]]s are sometimes also extended in this way.

===Cartouches===
[[File:Toki Pona sitelen pona kanata.png|thumb|{{tp|ma Kanata li suli.}} "{{tp|Kanata}}" is spelled out inside a cartouche, as {{sp|[kasi alasa nasin awen telo a]}}.]]
 
</translate>
[[Names]] are written inside a rectangle shape called a cartouche similar to acronyms, inspired by {{w|Egyptian hieroglyphs}}. Within a cartouche, the first phoneme of the corresponding word is read, each then strung together to form the name. While any word may be used, specific glyphs may be chosen to reflect the meaning or associations of the name. The choice of words is left up to the preference of the entity being named or, otherwise, the author of the text.

While any word may be used, specific glyphs may be chosen to reflect the meaning or associations of the name. The choice of words is left up to the preference of the entity being named or, otherwise, the author of the text.
 
In the book {{Oz|en}}, names after the first usage are abbreviated using only the first letter of the word. For example, Dorothy's name, {{tok|jan Towasi}}, may be spelled either as {{sp|jan [tomo olin wile alasa suwi ijo]}} or, implied, as {{sp|jan [tomo]}}.
 
There is also a nonstandard but fairly common extended system for writing cartouches using syllables or morae, called {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/nasin sitelen kalama|nasin sitelen kalama]]}}.
 
===Name glyphs===
 
Some people design custom {{tp|sitelen pona}} glyphs for their names. Like the glyphs for common words, most of these do not indicate pronunciation.

In handwriting, it may be drawn in an extended manner, pointing toward the relevant reference. A right-facing arrow ({{sp|ni>|font="linja lipamanka"}}) is often used in linking {{tp|ni}} statements. It may also be extended horizontally ({{sp|ni>(--)|font="linja lipamanka"}} {{sp|ni<(--)|font="linja lipamanka"}}).

<span id="alternative-glyphs"></span>
<translate>
===Alternative glyphs===
 
For various reasons, people have designed new glyphs for words that already have them. The Esperanto edition of {{lipu pu|en}} includes drawings of some of these.
 
In many [[Special:MyLanguage/sitelen pona fonts|{{tp|sitelen pona}} fonts]] with [[Special:MyLanguage/ASCII transcription|ASCII transcription]], glyphs different from the font's standard glyph can be typed by appending a number to the end of a word, such as <code>{{tok|kala}}1</code>. The default variants and list of supported alternative glyphs are not consistent between fonts, so this is not a consistent method to identify glyph variants. The added numbers may also interfere with {{w|screen reader}}s.

Fonts that support [[Special:MyLanguage/Fonts#Key|ASCII transcription]] ligatures can be used as a learning tool. If you type a supported word correctly, the font will turn it into a {{tp|sitelen pona}} glyph. Building this connection between pronounceable {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/sitelen Lasina|sitelen Lasina]]}} spellings and visually meaningful {{tp|sitelen pona}} ideographs can also help you memorize the meanings of words.
