How to Write a Cursive Capital X

Cursive capital X is made of two curves placed back to back, a reversed c and a regular c that touch in the middle. Some styles draw it as one curve crossed by a second stroke.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive x

Lowercase cursive x starts with a small hump that comes down to the baseline and exits like an n with one hump. After the word is done, add a slanted line crossing it to complete the x.

Common Mistakes with Cursive X

The cross stroke is the part people forget, which leaves x looking like an n with one hump. Add the slanted line after the word, the same way you dot i and cross t.

Cursive X in Unicode

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