How to Write a Cursive Capital E

Cursive capital E looks like a backwards 3. It is built from two counterclockwise curves stacked on top of each other, joined by a small loop in the middle, with the lower curve larger than the upper one.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive e

Lowercase cursive e is a short loop. Swing up from the baseline to about half the height of the letter, loop back to the left, come down, and leave with a rising tail. It looks like a small l.

Common Mistakes with Cursive E

An e that is too tall is easily mistaken for an l. Keep the loop at half height, and leave it open; a closed e with no loop looks like an i.

These notes describe common American school cursive. Handwriting programs differ in small details, so follow your teacher's model if it looks different.

Cursive E in Unicode

ℰ (U+2130) and ℯ (U+212F) come from the older Letterlike Symbols block (U+2100–U+214F), not from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block like the other variants. Unicode had already encoded these characters before 2001, so the math block leaves a reserved gap at that spot. Because a different part of the font draws them, they can look slightly different in weight or slant from the rest of a cursive word on some devices.

Unicode lists two uses for the script e characters: ℰ (U+2130) stands for electromotive force (emf), and ℯ (U+212F) for error and for the natural exponent.
