How Strikethrough Text Works

This generator uses Unicode combining characters that overlay your text with lines. Unlike HTML strikethrough tags that only work on websites, Unicode strikethrough displays correctly in plain text fields across platforms.

Strikethrough Styles

Single Line (Standard)

The classic strikethrough: t̶e̶x̶t̶. A horizontal line through the middle of each character. Works best for crossing out mistakes or showing changes.

Double Line

Two parallel lines through the text for extra emphasis. More visible but may render differently on some systems.

Slash Through

Diagonal lines through each character: t̸e̸x̸t̸. A different visual style that stands out from standard strikethrough.

Common Uses

Social Media

Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook don't have native strikethrough formatting. This Unicode method works in posts, bios, and comments.

Discord and Slack

While these apps have markdown strikethrough (~~text~~), Unicode strikethrough offers different visual styles and works in usernames and statuses where markdown doesn't.

Showing Edits

Cross out old information while keeping it visible. Price changes (w̶a̶s̶ ̶$̶5̶0̶ now $30), corrections, or humorous "didn't say that" effects.

Aesthetic Text

Combine with other Unicode text effects for stylized bios, artistic posts, or unique visual identity.

Compatibility Notes

Unicode strikethrough works on:

  • Twitter, Facebook, Instagram posts and bios
  • Discord messages, usernames, and server names
  • WhatsApp, Telegram, and most messaging apps
  • Email subject lines and body text
  • Most modern browsers and operating systems

Some older systems or specific fonts may not render combining characters correctly. Test before important uses.
