How to Write a Cursive Capital H

Cursive capital H is made of two tall strokes. The left one usually starts with a small hook at the top, the right one comes down separately, and a looped crossbar ties them together and leads into the next letter.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive h

Lowercase cursive h starts with a tall loop to the top line and a straight stroke back to the baseline. From there it climbs into one hump, like an n, and finishes with an exit stroke.

Common Mistakes with Cursive H

If the hump does not come back down to the baseline, h reads as an l followed by an i. Keep the loop tall and the hump the same height as n.

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

Cursive H in Unicode

ℋ (U+210B) and ℎ (U+210E) 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 ℋ (U+210B) as the Hamiltonian operator from physics. The italic small h on this page is ℎ (U+210E), whose official name is PLANCK CONSTANT; Unicode notes it is simply a mathematical italic h and the name comes from legacy usage.
