How to Write a Cursive Capital N

Cursive capital N is drawn like the capital M with one hump fewer. Start with a hook, come down, go over one hump, and finish with an upward exit stroke on the right.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive n

Lowercase cursive n has two humps: the entry stroke forms the first and the second follows it. Keep both humps the same height, and do not confuse it with m, which has three.

Common Mistakes with Cursive N

Adding an extra hump turns n into m. Two humps only, and round them at the top; pointed tops make n look like u.

Cursive N in Unicode

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

In statistics, 𝒩 is the usual symbol for the normal distribution, written for example as 𝒩(0, 1).
