How to Write a Cursive Capital W
Cursive capital W starts with a hook, then goes down, up, down, and up again, like two V shapes joined together. The last stroke often finishes with a small curl at the top.
How to Write a Lowercase Cursive w
Lowercase cursive w is two cups followed by a short climb back to the middle line. Like b, o, and v, it ends with a bridge stroke at the top instead of at the baseline.
Common Mistakes with Cursive W
Dropping the final bridge stroke turns w into a u with an extra stroke. Two cups, then back up to the middle line and sideways into the next letter.
These notes describe common American school cursive. Handwriting programs differ in small details, so follow your teacher's model if it looks different.
Cursive W in Unicode
Every variant of cursive W on this page comes from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (U+1D400โU+1D7FF), added in Unicode 3.1 in 2001. Script W has no gap in that block, so capital and lowercase come from the same set and match in style.
