How to Write a Cursive Capital L

Cursive capital L starts around the middle, loops up to the top line, and comes back down. At the bottom it makes a small flat loop that rests on the baseline before the exit stroke heads to the right.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive l

Lowercase cursive l is a single tall loop. Swing up from the baseline to the top line, loop back to the left, come straight down, and leave with a rising tail.

Common Mistakes with Cursive L

An l that is not tall enough looks like an e. Make the loop reach the top line, the same height as b, d, h, and k.

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

Cursive L in Unicode

โ„’ (U+2112) comes from the older Letterlike Symbols block (U+2100โ€“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 โ„’ (U+2112) as the Laplace transform. Do not confuse the script small l on this page with โ„“ (U+2113): despite its name, โ„“ comes from an italic l and is used as the mathematical symbol ell and as the traditional symbol for liter.
