Welcome in cursive

As a picture in four handwriting fonts, free to download, or as 𝒲ℯ𝓁𝒸ℴ𝓂ℯ and 𝓦𝓮𝓵𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓮 to paste anywhere text goes.

The word Welcome set in Great Vibes, Allura, Parisienne and Mrs Saint Delafield, the four typefaces the handwriting generator draws with, above the same word written with Unicode cursive characters (𝒲ℯ𝓁𝒸ℴ𝓂ℯ) drawn by STIX Two Math. The typefaces make pictures; the last row is text. — Welcome five ways. The top four are typefaces, and what the downloads below save; the last is Unicode cursive, text you can copy, drawn here by STIX Two Math and on a phone by that phone’s own font.

The characters behind Welcome

The Unicode characters that spell Welcome in cursive
Letter	Cursive	Code point and name	Bold cursive	Code point
W	𝒲	`U+1D4B2` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT CAPITAL W	𝓦	`U+1D4E6`
e	ℯ	`U+212F` SCRIPT SMALL E	𝓮	`U+1D4EE`
l	𝓁	`U+1D4C1` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL L	𝓵	`U+1D4F5`
c	𝒸	`U+1D4B8` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL C	𝓬	`U+1D4EC`
o	ℴ	`U+2134` SCRIPT SMALL O	𝓸	`U+1D4F8`
m	𝓂	`U+1D4C2` MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL M	𝓶	`U+1D4F6`

In light cursive, 3 of the 7 letters of Welcome come from Letterlike Symbols rather than the maths alphabet: ℯ (U+212F SCRIPT SMALL E, also listed as “error” and “natural exponent”, used twice) and ℴ (U+2134 SCRIPT SMALL O, also listed as “order, of inferior order to”).

ℓ, U+2113 SCRIPT SMALL L, which Unicode also lists as “mathematical symbol 'ell'” and “liter (traditional symbol)”, looks like the 𝓁 in 𝒲ℯ𝓁𝒸ℴ𝓂ℯ but is a different character; text typed with it will not match a search for Welcome.
