How to write capital U
- Start at the baseline with a small entry stroke and rise to the top line.
- Pull down into a rounded trough to the baseline and rise again to the top.
- Pull a final downstroke to the baseline and end with a tail that joins the next letter.
How to write lowercase u
- Start at the baseline and rise to the midline.
- Pull down into a rounded trough and rise again to the midline.
- Pull a downstroke to the baseline and exit to the right.
Common mistakes
- A common slip is pointing the trough of u, which turns it into v.
- With the capital, learners stop the final stroke short instead of carrying it into the next letter; the tail of U is the join.
Joining u to other letters
The u exits from the baseline with a short upstroke that becomes the entry stroke of the next letter.
