Cursive J

Lowercase cursive j is a undercurve letter: it starts on the baseline with an undercurve — a small upward swing to the right — before the main stroke. Its tail drops below the baseline, into the space under the row. Cursive capital J has a loop that drops below the baseline, which is what sets it apart from I.
