Cursive Small Y
The letter y in cursive, ready to copy — pick a style below and paste it anywhere, no font install needed.
Meet the cursive small y — the letter “y”, said “Wy”, dressed in flowing script. On this page you can copy it in several cursive styles, from the everyday Script form (𝓎) to bolder and older-looking variants. This one is a descender: part of it dips below the baseline in a small tail, which is why it looks playful next to plainer neighbours. People reach for this letter when they are styling an initial, a display name or a heading, and teachers use it as a friendly early step in handwriting practice. Pick the version you like and tap Copy.
How to write a cursive y
- Begin on the baseline, form the body of the letter, then let the stroke drop below the line into its tail.
- Follow the main curve of the letter in a single, unhurried stroke — cursive looks best when the pen stays on the paper instead of stopping and starting.
- Finish with a short exit stroke trailing to the right, ready to join the next letter, then lift the pen cleanly and check your slant matches its neighbours.
