Strikethrough Text Generator

The tool appends an invisible Unicode combining mark right after each letter. Strikethrough uses the Combining Long Stroke Overlay, underline uses the Combining Low Line, and slash uses the Combining Long Solidus Overlay. The font draws the line as part of the character, so no rich-text styling is needed and the effect travels with plain text.

Three: Strikethrough draws a horizontal line through each letter, Underline draws a line beneath each letter, and Slash draws a diagonal stroke across each letter. Pick one from the Style menu and the Result box updates instantly.

Anywhere that accepts Unicode. That includes Discord, X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit and most bios and comment fields. A few older systems that strip non-ASCII characters may drop the marks, so test once if you are unsure.

The tool only adds a mark after non-whitespace characters, so spaces stay bare and the line does not stretch across the gaps between words. Letters, digits and punctuation all receive the mark; only whitespace is skipped.

Mostly yes, but with caveats. The base letters remain intact, so a search for the plain word can still match, and many screen readers read the letters and ignore the marks. Some assistive tools, however, announce each combining character or stumble on the sequence, so avoid this styling for anything that must be fully accessible.

It is a Unicode workaround, not the semantic strikethrough that HTML or a word processor produces. That is exactly why it works in plain-text fields that have no bold or strikethrough option. If you are writing in an editor that already has a strikethrough button, that native option is cleaner.

Yes. Each decorated letter is now two code points, the letter plus its combining mark, so the string is longer than the original. On platforms with a character limit, such as X, decorated text uses up your allowance faster than plain text.

Not from this tool directly, but the marks are separable. Deleting the combining characters, or pasting into a field that discards non-ASCII input, returns the original letters. The base text is never altered, only overlaid.
