How to Write a Cursive Capital Z

Cursive capital Z looks more like a 3 than a printed Z. A curved top stroke leads into a small loop at the middle, and the lower part dips below the baseline in a loop in many handwriting styles.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive z

Lowercase cursive z starts with a small hump, then makes a little loop at the baseline and drops below it into a descender loop. That lower loop closes back at the baseline before the exit stroke.

Common Mistakes with Cursive Z

A z without the lower loop looks like a 3 or an n. Make the small loop at the baseline first, then let the descender drop and close it back at the baseline.

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

Cursive Z in Unicode

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