How to Write a Cursive Capital J

Cursive capital J looks like the capital I with a tail. After the upper loop, the stroke drops below the baseline and turns into a long lower loop that closes back near the baseline.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive j

Lowercase cursive j is an upstroke followed by a straight stroke that goes below the baseline. It loops back up to the left and crosses at the baseline. Dot it after the word is written.

Common Mistakes with Cursive J

A j whose lower loop is too small looks like an i that drifted below the line. Let the descender reach well below the baseline, then dot it last.

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

Cursive J in Unicode

Every variant of cursive J on this page comes from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (U+1D400–U+1D7FF), added in Unicode 3.1 in 2001. Script J has no gap in that block, so capital and lowercase come from the same set and match in style.
