Cursive Capital S
Capital S is the form used at the start of sentences, names and places. Cursive capitals vary more between handwriting models than lowercase letters do, so the shape shown on your school or course materials is the one to follow. This page offers a specimen, a copyable script character and example names that begin with S.

Frequently asked questions
How do I type a cursive S?
Open the cursive text generator, type S and copy the result. The Cursive style gives you the character shown on this page. It is a Unicode symbol, so its look depends on your device.
Is capital S the same in every cursive style?
No. Capital letters differ more between cursive models than lowercase letters, so check the model your teacher or course uses before copying a shape.
Is the script S the same as handwritten S?
No. The script character is a separate Unicode symbol that resembles script lettering. Handwriting is a connected style where letters join, and a single symbol cannot show that.
