Cursive Letter Symbols: types, meanings and practical differences
Mathematical script letters resemble cursive text, but they are special characters rather than a selectable font.
These swap your letters for styled ones. The result is text, not a font. The page carries 62 distinct entries: 62 single characters and 0 sequences.
Representative names include Mathematical Script Capital A, Mathematical Script Capital G, Script Capital L, Script Capital R. The commonest name families across the whole inventory are Mathematical Script Small (23), Mathematical Script Capital (18), Script Capital B (1). Single-character values span U+0030 to U+1D4CF.

The shape of this collection
Encoded span for cursive letter symbols
Single-character entries cover U+0030 to U+1D4CF, breaking down by general category as letter 52, number 10.
How the official names cluster
Sorting every formal name puts Mathematical Script Small (23), Mathematical Script Capital (18), Script Capital B (1) at the top.
How the multi-part entries are built
Of the sequences, 0 rely on a zero-width joiner and 0 on a variation selector; 1 code points is the longest single entry.
Picking the right cursive letter symbol
Watch out for Mathematical Script Capital A next to Mathematical Script Capital G. They are different characters: U+1D49C and U+1D4A2. Letter is the safe default at 52 entries.
Emoji or pictograph is the specialist choice, with just 10. Want colour? Pick one of the 10 emoji.
Want it to match your text? Pick one of the 52 plain ones. Then paste it where it will live and look at it.
Cursive text here comes mainly from Unicode mathematical script alphabets. Some historic letterlike characters fill gaps in those alphabets, which is why code points are not always consecutive.

Cursive Letter Symbols explained in plain English
Short summary
There are 62 cursive letter symbols here. All of them copy in one click. Most of them, 52 in all, are letter. Unicode keeps most of them in a group called Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols. Watch the 10 emoji. Unlike the 52 plain ones, you cannot change how they look.
2 groups, not one list
They split into letter and emoji or pictograph. Letter leads with 52.
Encoding, and why coverage varies
They come from Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (41), Letterlike Symbols (11) and Basic Latin (10). Across U+0030 to U+1D4CF, support gets patchy at the newer end.
Two that look alike
Compare Mathematical Script Capital A with Mathematical Script Capital G. Same shape, different code point.
Names repeat in families
23 names start with “Mathematical Script Small”. The difference is at the end.

Mathematical script letters are substitutions, not a cursive font
The converter maps ordinary Latin letters to mathematical script code points. Several legacy letterlike symbols fill historical gaps, so the output is not one consecutive alphabet block.
| Input | Script result | Compatibility consequence |
|---|---|---|
| A / a | 𝒜 / 𝒶 | Search and spelling tools may treat the result as mathematical text. |
| B / b | ℬ / 𝒷 | The capital uses a legacy letterlike symbol rather than the main script range. |
| E / e | ℰ / ℯ | Fallback fonts can change stroke style and visual weight. |
| Plain word | Character-by-character replacement | Keep the normal spelling nearby for names, links and important messages. |
Practical note: Use script characters for short display accents. For paragraphs, choose an actual cursive typeface so the underlying words remain ordinary searchable letters.
Where to go next
Compare these choices with bubble text symbols and old english text symbols. For a deeper explanation, read Fancy Text and Accessibility: A Practical Guide. If one question is enough, read is fancy unicode text the same as a font?.
Tip: Keep the plain words next to the symbol. Text is what makes a design searchable and readable to someone using a screen reader.

How to use cursive letter symbols
One click copies the characters themselves, not a picture of them. Use Ctrl V on Windows and Linux, ⌘ V on a Mac, or long-press and Paste on a phone.
01
Short display names and profile accents
Mathematical Script Capital A is the safe pick here. Let the words beside it carry the meaning.
02
Headings in informal posts
When handling headings in informal posts, the 52 letter entries are the obvious pool, and let visual weight settle the final choice.

How to type cursive letter symbols on a keyboard
Copying is quicker, but these are typeable too. On Windows the alt code is the character's decimal code point; in Word the hexadecimal followed by Alt X does the same job without a keypad.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 𝒜 | Mathematical Script Capital A | Not available | 1D49C | 𝒜 |
| 𝒢 | Mathematical Script Capital G | Not available | 1D4A2 | 𝒢 |
| ℒ | Script Capital L | Alt 8466 | 2112 | ℒ |
| ℛ | Script Capital R | Alt 8475 | 211B | ℛ |
| 𝒲 | Mathematical Script Capital W | Not available | 1D4B2 | 𝒲 |
| 𝒸 | Mathematical Script Small C | Not available | 1D4B8 | 𝒸 |
Alt codes reach only the first 65,536 code points, and only from a numeric keypad. 41 entries here sit above that ceiling. The complete keyboard guide covers every platform method in full.

How cursive letter symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Unicode keeps 66% of these in Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols. The rest come from Letterlike Symbols and Basic Latin. You get two behaviours here.
52 are plain text. The other 10 are emoji, so the system picks their colour, not you.
The clipboard carries code points, not the drawing on this page, so weight, spacing and colour can all shift between iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and an exported PDF.

Common mistakes with cursive letter symbols
- 1
Mixing up Mathematical Script Capital A and Mathematical Script Capital G.
- 2
Thinking every one of the 62 works the same everywhere.
- 3
Treating these cursive letter symbols as interchangeable with the visually similar characters in bubble text symbols.
- 4
Reaching for one of the 10 emoji entries where a text mark was needed, so the colour artwork clashes with the surrounding type.

Cursive Letter Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Mathematical Script Capital A and Mathematical Script Capital G?+
U+1D49C is Mathematical Script Capital A; U+1D4A2 is Mathematical Script Capital G. Because the encoded identity differs, substituting one for the other can change what a reader or a piece of software understands.
What is the HTML code for mathematical script capital a?+
Either reference works: 𝒜 or 𝒜. Both resolve to 𝒜. Pasting the raw character is fine too once the document is UTF-8.
Which cursive letter symbols work as plain text rather than emoji?+
Look for the 52 non-emoji entries. Those behave like letters — style them, colour them, put them in a heading. The 10 emoji entries are drawn by the operating system instead.
Which Unicode block are these cursive letter symbols in?+
Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols holds most of them — 41 characters; the rest come from Letterlike Symbols and Basic Latin. That matters because a font either supports a block broadly or barely at all.
Which cursive letter symbol should I choose?+
Watch out for <b>Mathematical Script Capital A</b> next to <b>Mathematical Script Capital G</b>. They are different characters: U+1D49C and U+1D4A2. <b>Letter</b> is the safe default at <b>52</b> entries. Emoji or pictograph is the specialist choice, with just <b>10</b>. Want colour? Pick one of the <b>10</b> emoji. Want it to match your text? Pick one of the <b>52</b> plain ones. Then paste it where it will live and look at it.
How many cursive letter symbols are on this page?+
62: 62 single Unicode characters and 0 multi-code-point sequences, of which 10 carry emoji properties. They divide into 2 groups, the largest being letter with 52 entries.

Where this data comes from
Every figure on this page is computed from the stored inventory of 62 entries. Names, general categories and code points are generated from the Unicode 17.0 character database rather than typed by hand; emoji membership is read from the emoji data files published alongside it.

- Unicode emoji-test.txt (fully-qualified emoji sequences and grouping)
