Luke in Cursive – Copy and Paste in 12 Styles

Luke, letter by letter

The name Luke written with Unicode cursive characters, ℒ𝓊𝓀ℯ above and 𝓛𝓾𝓴𝓮 below, drawn by STIX Two Math, with ℒ, ℯ marked as letters Unicode keeps in the Letterlike Symbols block. — The light line mixes two parts of Unicode: ℒ ℯ from Letterlike Symbols and the rest from the maths alphabet. The bold line is all one range. Drawn by STIX Two Math; a phone uses its own font.

The Unicode characters that spell Luke in cursive
Letter	Cursive	Code point and name	Bold cursive	Code point
L	ℒ	`U+2112` SCRIPT CAPITAL L	𝓛	`U+1D4DB`
u	𝓊	`U+1D4CA` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL U	𝓾	`U+1D4FE`
k	𝓀	`U+1D4C0` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL K	𝓴	`U+1D4F4`
e	ℯ	`U+212F` SCRIPT SMALL E	𝓮	`U+1D4EE`

ℒ, the first letter of Luke in light cursive, is not a maths letter at all: it is U+2112 SCRIPT CAPITAL L from Letterlike Symbols, which Unicode also lists as “Laplace transform”.

The ℯ in ℒ𝓊𝓀ℯ is U+212F SCRIPT SMALL E, which Unicode also lists as “error” and “natural exponent” — one of the older Letterlike characters rather than a maths letter.

With 2 borrowed letters mixed into it, Luke is a good case for bold cursive, whose 52 letters all sit in one range, U+1D4D0 to U+1D503: 𝓛𝓾𝓴𝓮.

℮, U+212E ESTIMATED SYMBOL, looks like the ℯ in ℒ𝓊𝓀ℯ but is a different character; a name typed with it will not match a search for Luke.
