How to Write a Cursive Capital O

Cursive capital O is a large counterclockwise oval that starts and finishes at the top. A small loop inside the top where the stroke closes is common, and many styles do not join O to the next letter.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive o

Lowercase cursive o is a small oval that closes at the top. It ends with a short bridge stroke at the middle line instead of dropping to the baseline, so the letter after it starts higher than usual.

Common Mistakes with Cursive O

Ending o at the baseline instead of with a bridge stroke at the middle line makes it read as an a. Close the oval at the top and leave sideways.

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

Cursive O in Unicode

ℴ (U+2134) 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.

The script small o ℴ (U+2134) is listed in Unicode with the meaning "order, of inferior order to". In computer science, big-O notation is also sometimes typeset with a script 𝒪.

Does lowercase cursive o connect to the next letter?

Lowercase cursive o is one of the four bridge letters (b, o, v, and w). It ends at the middle line rather than the baseline, so the stroke into the next letter runs sideways at the top instead of rising from the bottom.
