Frequently asked questions

How does strikethrough text work without formatting?

It inserts a Unicode combining mark after each letter, so the line is drawn by the font rather than by rich-text styling.

Where can I paste crossed out text?

Most apps that accept Unicode, including Discord, X, Instagram, WhatsApp and Telegram, will keep the marks when you paste.

What is the difference between the kinds?

Strikethrough draws a line through letters, underline draws a line beneath them, and slash draws a diagonal stroke over them.

Why are spaces not crossed out?

Marks are only added to visible characters so spacing stays clean and lines do not render oddly.

Is my text private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
