Etymology[edit | edit source]
The word yutu is derived from Turkish yıldız, meaning "star". It was coined in 2021 by inari in the ma pona pi toki pona community. The letter y, shared with yupekosi, was originally a typo of j that was kept in the spelling as a joke.[1]
Semantic space[edit | edit source]
The semantic space of yutu includes the star emoji (Unicode codepoint: U+2B50, Discord shortcode: :star:), specifically as used to pin a message to a "starboard" channel in Discord servers such as ma pona pi toki pona.
