About Unicode strikethrough text

Native HTML gives designers a simple way to strike through text with the <s> tag or a CSS text-decoration rule, but that only works where HTML and CSS are actually rendered. The moment text leaves a web page, whether pasted into a social media bio, a group chat, a spreadsheet cell or a plain-text comment box, all of that formatting disappears, because the platform only ever sees plain characters. Unicode combining characters solve this by making the strike mark part of the text itself rather than a decoration applied on top of it. This tool inserts one combining character immediately after every visible letter you type: U+0336 draws a long stroke through the character for classic strikethrough, U+0332 draws a low line beneath it for underline, U+033F draws two overlapping lines through it for double-strike, and U+0335 draws a short diagonal stroke for slash-through. Because each mark attaches to the character before it, the visual effect lines up correctly even as you keep typing, and the tool deliberately skips inserting a mark after spaces so the line doesn't visibly break or look disconnected between words.

U+0336 strikethrough

A long stroke overlay drawn straight through the middle of each letter.

U+0332 underline

A low line combining mark drawn directly beneath each letter.

U+033F & U+0335

Double overline for a bold double-strike, short solidus for a diagonal slash.

Strikethrough text generator FAQ

How does this strikethrough text generator work?

It inserts a Unicode combining character directly after every visible letter in your text. The mark attaches to the character before it, so the strike, underline or slash appears to run through your actual text rather than being a separate decoration.

Why use Unicode strikethrough instead of HTML s tags?

Most social media bios, chat apps and comment boxes strip HTML tags entirely, so an <s> tag would never render. Unicode combining characters are just plain text characters, so the strikethrough effect survives copy and paste anywhere.

What is the difference between the four styles?

Strikethrough draws a single line through the middle of each character, underline draws a line beneath it, double-strike draws two overlapping lines through it, and slash-through draws a diagonal slash across it.

Does it work on social media and messaging apps?

In most cases yes, since the result is standard Unicode text. Rendering quality can vary slightly by font and platform, and a few apps may not display combining characters at all.

Is this strikethrough text generator free and private?

Yes. Conversion happens instantly in your browser using plain JavaScript, and your text is never uploaded or stored.
