Sitelen Pona (Lentan, UCSUR)

This is a keyboard for typing sitelen pona, a logographic writing system for the popular constructed language toki pona. This keyboard uses the spelling of words in Latin script to enter sitelen pona logographs. On desktop, letters not in toki pona will enter a syllable instead.

This keyboard is based on the layout described by jan Lentan which was inspired by the toki pona ASCII syllabary by jan Misali.

The sitelen pona logographs produced by this keyboard use the UCSUR encoding. A sitelen pona font supporting this encoding is required for text to appear correctly. (The Keyman mobile app uses a font included in this package.)

Mobile Layout

The mobile layout contains keys only for Latin letters needed in toki pona. When the space bar or enter key is pressed, a toki pona word written in Latin script will be converted to sitelen pona.
