Cursive Letter O — How to Write & Copy-Paste ℴ

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

Cursive o is a closed oval with a top-right exit—the sister shape to a and the core of many decorative scripts. Unlike printed o, cursive o usually leaves a small connector at the upper right so the next letter continues without a lift. Uppercase O is a larger oval that may include an entrance loop. Keeping o the same size as a and e is essential for even handwriting. In fonts such as Great Vibes and Pacifico, o carries much of the script’s rhythm.

How to write cursive O

1
Oval: Draw a full counterclockwise oval to the midline height.
2
Close: Meet the starting point cleanly so the letter does not open into a c.
3
Top exit: Leave a short connector from the upper right toward the next letter.

How to connect O to the next letters

Because o exits high, letters like u, n, and m need a slight downward glide into their first arch. Into another o, keep the connector short to avoid a “chain link” look.
