How to Write a Cursive Capital F
Cursive capital F is usually written in two parts. First draw a wavy cap across the top, then a stem that curves to the left at the bottom, and finally a short crossbar through the middle of the stem.
How to Write a Lowercase Cursive f
Lowercase cursive f has loops on both sides of the baseline. A tall loop rises to the top line, the stroke continues below the baseline, and a lower loop closes back on the right at the baseline before the exit stroke.
Common Mistakes with Cursive F
Many writers skip the lower loop and stop f at the baseline, which makes it look like a tall l. The upper loop should be full height and the lower loop should reach as far below the baseline as g or j.
These notes describe common American school cursive. Handwriting programs differ in small details, so follow your teacher's model if it looks different.
Cursive F in Unicode
ℱ (U+2131) comes 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 this character before 2001, so the math block leaves a reserved gap at that spot. Because a different part of the font draws it, it can look slightly different in weight or slant from the rest of a cursive word on some devices.
Unicode lists ℱ (U+2131) as the symbol for the Fourier transform, one of the reasons it was encoded separately.
