Ajemi

Ajemi is an IME (input method) for Toki Pona. With proper font support, it allows you to type Sitelen Pona characters with ease.

Install

Setup

To type and see the Sitelen Pona characters, you need to:

1. Press Win + Space to switch to the input method.
2. Set the font of your editor to sitelen seli kiwen juniko that comes with the input method.

You can also use Fairfax HD, Nishiki-Teki or any other UCSUR-compliant font listed on this page.

Use

To type a glyph, simply type its spelling, and press Space to confirm.

Pressing Enter releases the raw ASCII text instead.

The candidate list can help you type faster. Press Space to select the highlighted candidate or press 1 ~ 5 to pick any one of them.

You can also type multiple glyphs in a row. Long glyphs will be automatically inserted for you.

To type punctuators, type:

• . for middle dot
• : for colon
• " for CJK corner brackets
• [] for proper name cartouche

Joiners compose adjacent glyphs into compound glyphs. Type:

• - for zero-width joiner
• ^ for stack joiner
• * for scale joiner

Long glyphs are created by extending certain glyphs with special control characters. In most cases you don't need to worry about them because the input method inserts them for you. But if you want more precise control over long glyphs, you can type:

• () to extend glyphs forward
• {} to extend glyphs backward

Here's a rough demonstration of the behavior of the control characters:

Spelling	Glyph
kala-lili
kala*lili
kala^lili
pi (kala lili)
{kala lili} kama
