How It Works

Strikethrough is created by adding a Unicode combining character after each letter. The combining long stroke overlay (U+0336) draws a line through the preceding character. This works on any platform that renders Unicode combining marks.

All processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

About Strikethrough Text Generator

This strikethrough text generator crosses out your text using Unicode combining characters. Choose from three styles: long stroke (standard strikethrough), short stroke (subtle center line), or tilde overlay (wavy strikethrough). Unlike HTML or Markdown strikethrough which only works in rich text, these Unicode combining characters display as crossed-out text on Instagram, Twitter/X, Discord, Facebook, WhatsApp, Reddit, and any platform that supports Unicode.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Unicode strikethrough work?
A Unicode combining character (U+0336) is inserted after each letter. The browser renders this combining mark as a line drawn through the preceding character. It works everywhere Unicode is supported.
Where can I use strikethrough text?
This Unicode strikethrough works on Instagram, Twitter/X, Discord, Facebook, WhatsApp, Reddit, Twitch, Telegram, and most platforms that render Unicode. It also works in plain text files and emails.
What is the difference between the three styles?
Long stroke (U+0336) draws a full horizontal line through each character — the classic strikethrough. Short stroke (U+0335) uses a shorter center line. Tilde overlay (U+0334) adds a wavy line through each character for a different visual effect.
