Cursive Letter C β€” How to Write & Copy-Paste 𝒸

By Alex Rivera Β· Last updated August 2, 2026 Β· Last tested: July 28, 2026

The cursive letter C is an open crescent: almost an oval that never quite closes. Lowercase c starts with a small undercurve, arcs left and up to the midline, then curves down and right, stopping short of a full circle so the next letter can enter. Uppercase C enlarges that motion into a graceful scoop often used at the start of names. C teaches controlβ€”too closed and it becomes an o; too open and the word looks broken. It remains one of the most readable letters in both school script and decorative fonts like Great Vibes.

    Open crescent: Arc up to the midline and around, leaving a clear opening on the right.
