How to Write a Cursive Capital Y

Cursive capital Y starts with a hook and a rounded cup like the capital U. The second stroke continues below the baseline into a long lower loop that closes back at the baseline.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive y

Lowercase cursive y starts with a small hump, comes down, climbs up, then drops below the baseline. Its lower loop closes on the left at the baseline, the same way g does.

Common Mistakes with Cursive Y

If the second stroke does not go below the baseline, y looks like a u. If the lower loop closes on the right, it looks like a q with a hump.

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

Cursive Y in Unicode

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