Cursive Letter Q β€” How to Write & Copy-Paste 𝓆

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

Cursive q begins like an oval o or a and finishes with a descender that often kicks rightβ€”the opposite direction of g’s leftward tail in many school methods. That rightward finish makes q distinctive and easy to confuse with g if rushed. Uppercase Q may include a decorative cross stroke through an oval. Because q almost always pairs with u in English, practicing β€œqu” joins is more useful than isolated q rows alone.
