How to Write a Cursive Capital K

Cursive capital K starts with a stem, often with a hook at the top. A second stroke comes in from the upper right, meets the stem in the middle with a small loop, and kicks out to the right as a leg.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive k

Lowercase cursive k starts like an h, with a tall loop. Instead of a plain hump, it makes a small loop or bump on the right that closes at the middle, then kicks out at the baseline to join the next letter.

Common Mistakes with Cursive K

The small loop on the right is easy to make too large, which turns k into an h or a lowercase b. Keep the loop tight against the stem at the middle line, then kick the leg out.

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

Cursive K in Unicode

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