Toki Pona

Glyph origin

Original three-stroke mute, with the meaning of "many", in sitelen pona
Alternate four-luka version of mute, with the meaning of "twenty", in sitelen pona

The original glyph has three vertical strokes — numbers above 2 are treated as ‘many’. Compare wan and tu, as well as Chinese 三. The alternate glyph, introduced in the 2024 book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Toki Pona edition) (su), has the luka glyph repeated four times to specifically signify the number twenty — one of the meanings of luka is the number five in Toki Pona, therefore 5 multiplied by 4 would equal 20.
