How strikethrough text works without formatting

Most apps have no strikethrough button in posts, bios or names. This tool adds a Unicode combining character after every letter: U+0336 draws a line through the letter before it, U+0338 draws a slash, U+0332 an underline and U+0305 an overline.

Because the line is part of the text itself, it survives copy and paste into apps that strip formatting. The trade-off: screen readers may read each combining mark aloud or skip the letters, and search inside the app may not match the styled words. Keep it for short decorative text, not for whole messages.

FAQs

Where does strikethrough text work?
Anywhere that accepts Unicode text: Instagram captions and bios, X posts, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube comments, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram and most games that allow special characters. A few fields that only accept plain letters (some usernames) reject it.
Why does the line look broken or missing?
The line is drawn by the font your app uses. Some fonts draw the combining mark slightly off-centre or not at all. Try another line style, such as slash or short stroke, which some fonts draw more cleanly.
Is there a native strikethrough shortcut in chat apps?
Yes in some. WhatsApp uses ~text~, Discord and Slack use ~~text~~. Those only work inside that app; text from this tool works everywhere you paste it.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing you type leaves the page.
