Cursive Y y
Capital Y: Start just below the top line on the left with a small hook. Pull down, curve around at the baseline, and go up to the top line on the right. Slant down past the baseline, loop to the left at the descender line, and come back up to join. Lowercase y: Start at the baseline and curve up and over at the midline. Slide down, curve along the baseline, and go up to the midline. Pull straight down to the descender line, loop to the left, and come back up to the baseline.

Stroke order
Tip: The loop of y turns to the left and closes at the baseline, just like the loop of g.
Joining: Lowercase y ends with the swing up from its bottom loop, crossing at the baseline. To join into y, curve up and over at the midline, the same way n begins.
