Need to cross out text? Our free Strikethrough Text Generator instantly adds a horizontal line through your words. This tool uses a special Unicode combining character (U+0336 Combining Long Stroke Overlay) that works in most places where standard text formatting isn't available, like social media posts, chat messages, and usernames.

Why Use Strikethrough Text?

• Show Edits/Corrections: Indicate text that has been removed or changed while keeping the original visible (common in collaborative editing or showing revisions).
• Indicate Completion: Cross items off a to-do list shared in plain text.
• Humor & Sarcasm: Strike through words to create a humorous effect, imply sarcasm, or show a 'thought crossed out'.
• Stylistic Emphasis: Add a unique visual style to social media posts, usernames, or comments.
• Deprecated Information: Mark information as outdated or no longer relevant.

How It Works (Unicode Combining Character):

This generator inserts a special Unicode character called the 'Combining Long Stroke Overlay' (U+0336) after each character in your input text. When rendered by compatible browsers and applications, this combining character draws a line through the preceding character.

How to Generate Strikethrough Text:

1. Type or paste the text you want to strike through into the input box.
2. Click the 'Generate Strikethrough Text' button.
3. The text with the strikethrough effect appears instantly in the output box.
4. Click 'Copy Result' to copy the crossed-out text.
5. Paste it wherever you need it – social media, chat, documents, etc.

Compatibility: Most modern browsers, operating systems, and applications support the Unicode combining character used for strikethrough. However, appearance might vary slightly, and very old systems might not render it correctly.
