Cursive Letter Y β€” How to Write & Copy-Paste π“Ž

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

Cursive y combines a u-like upper body with a descender loop similar to g. It appears at the ends of many English words, so a tidy tail improves whole lines of writing. Uppercase Y may look like a v with a stem or a fully looped capital. Keep the upper valleys of y the same width as u, then commit to a full descenderβ€”half tails look accidental. In copy-paste Unicode, π“Ž / 𝔂 remain popular for stylized names.
