Cursive Letter X β€” How to Write & Copy-Paste 𝓍

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

Cursive x is usually two strokes or a continuous crossed form: a slanted downstroke crossed by a lighter opposing stroke. Some methods teach a single complex motion; others accept a brief lift for the cross. Uppercase X enlarges the same idea and appears in decorative monograms. Clarity matters more than flourishβ€”an unreadable x breaks otherwise neat words. Practice x in the middle of words (box, next) rather than only in isolation.
