Cursive letters โ€” copy and paste

The whole cursive alphabet as text: ๐’œ ๐’ท ๐’ธ and ๐“ ๐“ซ ๐“ฌ, capitals, lowercase and numbers. Click a letter to copy it, or copy a whole row. For a word or a name, the generator is faster.

Capital letters

Lowercase letters

Numbers

This alphabet has no cursive digits in Unicode โ€” numbers stay as they are. Switch to a bold set for bold digits.

Where these letters come from

The characters on this page live in Unicodeโ€™s Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, added in 2001 so that maths could distinguish a script ๐’œ from a bold ๐€ from an italic ๐ด in running text. Nobody intended them as a decorative alphabet, but they are text, every modern device has a font for them, and they look like cursive โ€” so that is what they became.

There are exactly two script weights, light and bold. The light set is missing eleven letters at their expected code points because โ„ฌ โ„ฐ โ„ฑ โ„‹ โ„ โ„’ โ„ณ โ„› and โ„ฏ โ„Š โ„ด already existed as maths symbols in the Letterlike Symbols block; this page fills those positions with the older characters, which is what every cursive generator does. If you copy a light-script word and one capital looks heavier than the rest, that is the reason.

Capital letters, lowercase letters and numbers

Capitals and lowercase are separate rows above so you can copy a single initial โ€” a cursive capital for a monogram or a first letter โ€” without the rest. Numbers are included because dates and years end up next to names; the bold sets convert them to bold digits, the light sets leave them plain, and the row says which is happening.

Using single letters

  • Initials and monograms. A cursive capital in a bio or a display name, followed by a plain surname.
  • Spelling out a word by hand. Mix letters from different sets โ€” a bold initial with light script for the rest of the name.
  • Checking a glyph. Paste one letter into the destination app first to see how its font draws it before committing a whole line.

Frequently asked questions

Why do cursive capital B, E, F, H, I, L, M and R look different?

Those eight capitals, and lowercase e, g and o, were encoded in Unicode's Letterlike Symbols block years before the rest of the script alphabet, so they sit at different code points and are drawn from a different part of your device's symbol font. On most fonts they match; on some they are more ornate. The bold set has no such gaps.

Are there cursive numbers?

Not in the script alphabet โ€” Unicode encoded script letters only. The bold sets on this page substitute Unicode bold digits so numbers match the letters' weight. In the light script set the numbers stay plain.

Can I copy a single cursive letter for a username?

You can copy it, but usernames on Instagram, TikTok, X and Discord accept only plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods, so it will be rejected. Display names and bios accept it.

Is this the alphabet children learn to write in cursive?

No. This is the Unicode script alphabet โ€” text characters that look cursive on a screen. Handwriting cursive has stroke order, joins and regional letterforms that text cannot carry. If you are looking for practice sheets or letter formation, that is a different resource.
