How to Write a Cursive Capital Q

Cursive capital Q looks a lot like the number 2. A curve starts at the top, swings over to the right, comes down, and finishes with a small loop and a flat stroke along the baseline.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive q

Lowercase cursive q starts with a small oval like an a, then drops below the baseline. Unlike g, its lower loop closes on the right side at the baseline, which makes it easy to tell the two apart.

Common Mistakes with Cursive Q

Closing the lower loop to the left turns q into g. In q the descender loops to the right and comes back up to the baseline before the exit stroke.

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

Cursive Q in Unicode

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