The Strikethrough Text Generator creates crossed-out text using Unicode combining overlay characters — so it works everywhere plain text is accepted, including Discord messages, Twitter posts, Instagram bios, and text messages. Unlike markdown strikethrough (~~text~~) which only works in supporting apps, Unicode strikethrough is universal.
Strikethrough text has become a popular stylistic element for irony, corrections, humor, and dramatic effect. A product page showing the "original price" crossed out, a tweet correcting a previous statement, or a bio element that ironically "crosses out" an old identity — all use this format to communicate subtext visually.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Unicode strikethrough work?
Unicode strikethrough uses combining character U+0336 (COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY) applied to each letter, creating a strikethrough effect that works in any Unicode-supporting text field.
Does strikethrough work in Discord?
Yes — Unicode strikethrough works in Discord display names and About Me bios. Discord also supports markdown strikethrough (~~text~~) inside messages.
Is there a difference between strikethrough styles?
Yes — the single strikethrough uses U+0336 (a solid line) and the double strikethrough uses U+0335. Both are supported across major platforms.
