Strikethrough Text Generator
Transform any text into strikethrough text using Unicode combining characters. Works on social networks.
What is strikethrough text?
The trick is placing the Unicode character U+0336 (Combining Long Stroke Overlay) right after each letter. That way the line shows up over the text on any platform, with no special formatting needed.
It works on WhatsApp, Twitter/X, Instagram, Discord and other social networks.
Create strikethrough text
Strikethrough text is the kind with a line running through the letters, used to flag something cancelled or corrected, or just for a laugh. What this tool does is take your text and apply the line with combining Unicode characters, no special formatting required.
Because the line comes from Unicode and not the editor's formatting, it shows up even where you normally can't cross out a single word: social networks, messages, bios. It works well to display a struck-through "old price", flag a task that's already done, or just switch up the look.
The conversion happens right in your browser, ready to copy. One heads-up, though: these characters can trip up screen readers, so keep them in decorative content and away from anything that actually matters.
