Strikethrough Text Generator
Strikethrough text adds the Unicode combining long stroke overlay (U+0336) after every character, drawing a line through plain text in platforms that have no formatting button — the classic way to show a correction, a crossed-out price or a sarcastic edit. This style is NOT in the parent all-styles generator; this page provides it directly. Accessibility applies to every style on this page: styled Unicode is decoration, not formatting — keep essential information in plain text.

How to use the Strikethrough Text Generator
- Review the Strikethrough Text Generator result and its exact-value comparison table.
- Verify assumptions before applying the result.
Formula
Each letter and digit is replaced by the matching character from a Unicode mathematical or enclosed alphanumeric block (for example A → 𝐀 in U+1D400 Mathematical Bold); characters with no styled equivalent, and punctuation, pass through unchanged. Small caps and superscript use per-letter lookup tables.
- text
- Your text
These are real Unicode characters, not fonts, so they paste anywhere Unicode works — but screen readers may read them oddly or skip them, some older devices show boxes, and platforms can strip them from usernames. Never use styled text for passwords or anything that must be searched or matched exactly.

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Style produced | Strikethrough |
| Where it works | Works in bios, posts and chat anywhere combining characters render — which is most modern apps; the stroke survives copy-paste because it is part of the text. |
| Where it fails | Some platforms and fonts render the stroke unevenly (especially over spaces and emoji), a few systems strip combining marks, and screen readers may announce the overlay or stumble over it. Struck text also reads as deleted — never strike through information people actually need. |

Works in bios, posts and chat anywhere combining characters render — which is most modern apps; the stroke survives copy-paste because it is part of the text.
Some platforms and fonts render the stroke unevenly (especially over spaces and emoji), a few systems strip combining marks, and screen readers may announce the overlay or stumble over it. Struck text also reads as deleted — never strike through information people actually need.
Often badly. Screen readers may spell mathematical and modifier letters out, pronounce them as different characters, or skip them entirely, and search engines treat styled text as different characters from the plain words. That is why every page in this family repeats the rule: decoration in styled text, information in plain text.
Display names usually accept it; actual usernames/handles often do not — many platforms normalise or reject non-ASCII characters in handles, and nobody can type your styled name to search for you. Test on the platform before relying on it.
