Strikethrough Text Generator
Convert any text into strikethrough style using Unicode combining characters. Copy and paste the output into platforms that strip formatting, to cross out text without rich-text controls. Example: For Example becomes F̶o̶r̶ ̶E̶x̶a̶m̶p̶l̶e.
How to Use the Strikethrough Text Generator
Type or paste your text into the box above. The strikethrough output appears instantly in the second field. Click the copy button to send it to your clipboard, then paste it into any app or social platform.
The output is plain Unicode text, so it works everywhere a normal post or message works. No special font installation is required, and the style stays intact when someone else reads it on their phone or laptop.
What Is Strikethrough Text?
Strikethrough text in this generator combines each letter with the Unicode "combining long stroke overlay" character (U+0336). The result is a line drawn through every character, which copy-pastes into any Unicode-aware app as a single styled string.
Where Strikethrough Text Works
Twitter, Discord, Slack, Reddit (some clients), Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most messaging apps. Note that some platforms (Instagram in particular) strip combining characters from bios, so test the output before relying on it for important content.
A Note on Accessibility
Unicode-styled text looks fun, but screen readers often skip or mispronounce the special characters. Use it sparingly in places where accessibility matters (long posts, public-facing copy, alt text), and stick to plain text for anything critical.
