Create strikethrough text instantly using Unicode. Type anything, get crossed-out text ready to copy paste into Instagram, Twitter, Discord, WhatsApp and anywhere else.
Our strikethrough text generator uses Unicode combining characters to create crossed-out text that works on every platform. Unlike HTML or Markdown strikethrough (which only works on specific websites), Unicode strikethrough text copies and pastes into Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Discord, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and any other platform that accepts text input.
Unicode strikethrough works by adding a combining long stroke overlay character (U+0336) after each letter in your text. This tells every device and operating system to render a horizontal line through each character. Because it uses the Unicode standard, the result looks the same on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux โ no special apps or fonts needed.
Strikethrough text is perfect for showing corrections, indicating completed items in a list, adding humor by crossing out what you really meant, creating dramatic before-and-after comparisons, or adding emphasis through the visual contrast of struck text. It is widely used in social media posts, tweets, Discord messages and chat conversations.
