How Strikethrough Text Works

This tool inserts a Unicode combining character after every visible letter. Combining characters layer on top of the previous character — that's how a horizontal line, slash, or tilde appears across each letter without using any HTML or CSS.

Where You Can Use It

Anywhere that accepts plain text: Discord, Twitter/X, Instagram bios, comments, group chats, document filenames. It even works in places that strip HTML formatting because it's all just Unicode.

FAQ

Will this work on Discord?

Yes — Discord has built-in ~~strikethrough~~ markdown, but the Unicode version works in usernames and other places markdown doesn't.

Does it work on Instagram?

Yes. Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and most modern apps render combining characters correctly.

Why does it look weird in some apps?

A few older apps don't render combining characters properly. If yours doesn't, try the slash or tilde version.

Can I use this for SEO?

No — search engines see these as a different sequence of characters and it can look like spam. Use only for decoration.

Is anything saved?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser.
