Single strikethrough

The cleanest option for a correction, joke, or short crossed-out phrase. It adds one combining stroke to each character.

Double strikethrough

Two overlay marks create a heavier crossed-out effect. It is more decorative and more likely to render unevenly.

Styled strikethrough

Bold, italic, script, Fraktur, and monospace bases combine a font-like Unicode substitution with the strike mark.

What gets copied

A character plus a combining overlay

The basic result places Unicode combining long stroke overlay U+0336 after each character. The renderer draws those marks across the base letters, so the line remains part of the copied text.

Use Unicode strike when

✓The destination is a plain-text field with no formatting toolbar.
✓You need a short crossed-out phrase that can be copied with the surrounding text.
✓The line is decorative and the meaning remains clear without it.

Use native formatting when

→You are editing HTML, Markdown, a document, or another rich-text format.
→The crossed-out state carries important meaning such as a price or correction.
→Accessibility, search, clean editing, or reliable rendering matters more than copy-paste portability.

Strikethrough Text Generator FAQ

How do I make strikethrough text to copy and paste?+

Type your text, choose a single, double, or styled strike result, then tap the card to copy it. Paste it into the destination app and preview the line placement before publishing.

Is Unicode strikethrough the same as document formatting?+

No. This tool adds Unicode combining marks to plain text. A word processor, HTML editor, or Markdown app may offer native formatting that is more accessible and easier to remove.

Why does the strike line look different after I paste it?+

Fonts and text renderers position combining marks differently. The line can shift, break between characters, or look heavier on another device or app.

Can I use strikethrough text on social media?+

Many modern social and messaging apps display Unicode combining marks, but individual fields may filter them. Use short phrases and preview the pasted result.

Is strikethrough text accessible?+

It can be difficult for screen readers and people with low vision. Do not rely on the line alone to communicate an important correction, price, deadline, or status.

Is the strikethrough generator free?+

Yes. It runs in your browser with no signup, download, or usage limit.
