About these styles
Script cursive and bold script use the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block of Unicode. Old English uses the fraktur letters in the same block, which is the same blackletter family used in diplomas and newspaper mastheads. Double-struck, circled, monospace and small caps are included because people ask for them next to cursive.
Fancy Unicode text is meant for short strings: names, captions, bios. It is not a good choice for long passages, and it should not be used where accessibility matters, because screen readers often read each letter as a symbol name.
The handwriting image is different. It is drawn from the same stroke data as the animated letters on this site, so the joins are real cursive joins, not a font imitating them.
Questions
What is the difference between the copy-and-paste text and the handwriting image?
The copy-and-paste styles are Unicode characters: they work anywhere you can paste text, but each viewer's device decides how they look and screen readers may read them as symbols. The handwriting image is drawn from the same cursive models used on the letter pages, joined correctly, and downloads as an SVG or PNG.
Why do some letters look different between styles?
Unicode has a few holes in its script and fraktur alphabets, where letters such as B, E and F live elsewhere in the standard. The converter fills those from the right place so every letter is covered.
Does the handwriting image work for any text?
It covers the letters A to Z, a to z and the digits 0 to 9, plus spaces. Punctuation is skipped.
Which cursive model is the image?
US Traditional, the connected style most American classrooms teach. Stroke order and shapes differ slightly between schools, so a few capitals may not match your handbook.
