How to Write a Cursive Capital S

Cursive capital S starts with an upward loop from the baseline, then curves down like a large printed S. The stroke finishes by curling back to the left across the start of the letter.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive s

Lowercase cursive s rises from the baseline to a small point, curves down to the right, and closes back on itself at the baseline before the exit stroke.

Common Mistakes with Cursive S

An s that is not closed at the bottom looks like an r or a tall c. Bring the curve back to touch itself at the baseline before the exit stroke.

Cursive S in Unicode

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

In analysis, 𝒮 is the standard name for the Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing functions.
