Matthew in Cursive – Copy and Paste in 12 Styles

Matthew, letter by letter

The name Matthew written with Unicode cursive characters, ℳ𝒶𝓉𝓉𝒽ℯ𝓌 above and 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓱𝓮𝔀 below, drawn by STIX Two Math, with ℳ, ℯ marked as letters Unicode keeps in the Letterlike Symbols block. — The light line mixes two parts of Unicode: ℳ 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 Matthew in cursive
Letter	Cursive	Code point and name	Bold cursive	Code point
M	ℳ	`U+2133` SCRIPT CAPITAL M	𝓜	`U+1D4DC`
a	𝒶	`U+1D4B6` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL A	𝓪	`U+1D4EA`
t	𝓉	`U+1D4C9` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL T	𝓽	`U+1D4FD`
h	𝒽	`U+1D4BD` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL H	𝓱	`U+1D4F1`
e	ℯ	`U+212F` SCRIPT SMALL E	𝓮	`U+1D4EE`
w	𝓌	`U+1D4CC` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL W	𝔀	`U+1D500`

ℳ, the first letter of Matthew in light cursive, is not a maths letter at all: it is U+2133 SCRIPT CAPITAL M from Letterlike Symbols, which Unicode also lists as “M-matrix (physics)” and “German Mark currency symbol, before WWII”.

The ℯ in ℳ𝒶𝓉𝓉𝒽ℯ𝓌 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, Matthew is a good case for bold cursive, whose 52 letters all sit in one range, U+1D4D0 to U+1D503: 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓱𝓮𝔀.

ℏ, U+210F PLANCK CONSTANT OVER TWO PI, which Unicode also lists as “reduced Planck constant, Dirac constant”, looks like the 𝒽 in ℳ𝒶𝓉𝓉𝒽ℯ𝓌 but is a different character; a name typed with it will not match a search for Matthew.
