Cursive Letter L β€” How to Write & Copy-Paste 𝓁

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

Cursive l is a tall looped ascenderβ€”the twin of the stem used in b, h, and k. It begins with an undercurve, rises to the ascender line, loops left, and descends with an exit on the right. Consistent loop size is the hallmark of neat school cursive. Uppercase L may be a simple looped form or an elaborate capital with a long baseline foot. Because l appears in will, all, and like, even loops make paragraphs look professional.
