The strikethrough text generator adds a Unicode combining strikethrough character (U+0336) after each character in your text, creating a line through every letter. The result is strikethrough text that works anywhere Unicode is supported.

Strikethrough text is commonly used on social media to indicate deleted text, corrections, sarcasm, or dramatic effect. Unlike HTML del tags, Unicode strikethrough works in plain text fields like Twitter, Facebook comments, Discord messages, and text editors.

All processing runs in your browser — your text stays private.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Unicode strikethrough work?
The tool inserts a Unicode combining long stroke overlay character (U+0336) after each character in your text. When rendered, the combining character creates a horizontal line through the preceding character, producing the strikethrough effect.
Where can I use strikethrough text?
Unicode strikethrough works on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Reddit, YouTube comments, and most platforms that support Unicode. It also works in emails and document titles.
Why does strikethrough look different on some devices?
The appearance depends on how each device and font renders combining Unicode characters. Some fonts draw a cleaner line than others. The text is correct Unicode — rendering differences are normal across platforms.
Can I remove the strikethrough effect?
To remove strikethrough, you would need to strip the combining characters (U+0336) from the text. You can paste the strikethrough text into a tool that removes special characters, or manually retype it.
