Create strikethrough text
Strikethrough text is everywhere in casual writing — jokes, edits, ironic asides. Most apps do not offer a strikethrough button. The Strikethrough Text Generator inserts a Unicode combining long stroke overlay (`U+0336`) after each character so the result behaves like real strikethrough text.
How strikethrough text works
Each character in your input gets a combining mark appended after it. The combining mark renders on top of the previous character, which produces the strikethrough effect. Because the combining mark is part of the text, copying the result keeps the line intact, unlike CSS-based strikethrough that disappears when copied.
Where it works
- Twitter / X posts and bios
- Discord messages and nicknames
- Instagram captions
- Reddit comments (depending on the client)
- Email and notes apps
Why the line may look uneven
Some fonts position the combining mark slightly above or below the expected baseline, which can create a small jump on tall letters. Emoji and other complex characters do not always combine well with the overlay. Use a single style at a time and check the preview before posting.
