How to Write W in Cursive
Uppercase W
Uppercase cursive W is three connected upstrokes finished with a small curl on the final peak, which is what carries into the next letter.
Lowercase w
Lowercase w ends at the top of the x-height, not the baseline. That high exit is why w joins awkwardly to letters like a and o.
Cursive w vs Cursive u
Both are two valleys. The w finishes with a small loop at the top; the u finishes at the baseline and joins low.

Can I copy and paste W in cursive?
Yes. Every W on this page is a Unicode character, not an image, so clicking it copies real text. Paste it into an Instagram bio, a TikTok display name, a Discord nickname, or a document and the cursive shape travels with it — no font to install.
Why does cursive W look different in each style?
Each row uses a different Unicode block. Cursive Script and Bold Cursive come from the Mathematical Script ranges, Old Style Script from Fraktur, and Double-Struck and Clean Fancy from their own blocks. They are separate character sets that happen to resemble handwriting, which is why the same letter is drawn differently in each.
Is the cursive W here a real handwriting font?
No. These are Unicode characters, not a downloadable typeface. That is why they work in fields that never let you change the font. If you need an actual font file for print or design software, see our cursive fonts page.
