About Strikethrough Text Generator

About This Strikethrough Text Generator

This free tool applies Unicode combining overlays to your text so it appears struck through in plain-text environments. It is perfect for social media bios, posts, Discord messages, and other places where markdown or HTML is not available.

Five Unicode Strike Styles

U+0336 (Long Stroke Overlay) creates a classic line-through effect across each character.

U+0335 (Short Stroke Overlay) creates a tighter horizontal strike style.

U+0337 (Short Solidus Overlay) creates a short diagonal-style strike effect.

U+0338 (Long Solidus Overlay) applies a stronger long solidus strike across characters.

U+0334 (Tilde Overlay) applies a wavy strike pattern for a stylized effect.

How It Works

Your original text is preserved character by character. The tool appends a combining strike mark to every character, including spaces, and outputs a copy-ready result in real time.

Best Uses

  • Create playful crossed-out text in social posts
  • Style profile bios and status messages
  • Highlight edits, jokes, or sarcasm in chats
  • Generate plain-text strike effects without markdown

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our tools. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us.

What is a strikethrough text generator?

A strikethrough text generator adds Unicode combining marks to each character so text appears crossed out in plain-text fields like bios, posts, and chat apps.

What is the difference between U+0336 and U+0337?

U+0336 is COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY and creates the classic horizontal strike effect. U+0337 is COMBINING SHORT SOLIDUS OVERLAY and creates a slightly more diagonal or stylized strike.

Can I use strike text on Instagram, X, or Discord?

Yes. These tools output Unicode text you can copy and paste into social media captions, profiles, Discord channels, and most other apps that support Unicode rendering.

Why does strikethrough look different between apps?

Each app and font renders combining marks differently. The text itself is valid Unicode, but visual thickness, angle, and alignment may vary by platform.

Does this use markdown or HTML?

No. It does not use markdown or HTML tags. It uses Unicode combining characters directly, so styling can work in plain-text fields that do not support rich text.

Can I remove strikethrough once pasted?

You can remove it by deleting and replacing with normal text, or by using a Unicode text cleaner that strips combining characters.
