How to Write a Cursive Capital M

Cursive capital M has three downward strokes. It often starts with a small hook, comes down, then makes two humps over to the right, and ends with a short exit stroke. The humps usually get slightly smaller from left to right.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive m

Lowercase cursive m has three humps, one more than a printed m, because the first stroke into the letter also forms a hump. Keep the humps the same height and evenly spaced, then finish with an exit tail.

Common Mistakes with Cursive M

Writing only two humps turns m into n, which is the most common cursive mix-up. Count three humps, and keep them evenly spaced so the word does not look like rn or nn.

Cursive M in Unicode

ℳ (U+2133) 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 two historical uses for ℳ (U+2133): the M-matrix in physics, and the German Mark currency symbol used before World War II.
