About Strikethrough Text Generator

Paste the phrase you want crossed out. Copy the Unicode output from the preview. Paste into your post, bio, or message and confirm rendering.
When to Use Strikethrough Text Generator
Edit logs: Show removed wording in changelogs or patch notes. Humor: Joke posts where the punchline is “crossed out.” Task lists: Strike completed items in plain-text notes.
Why Use This Strikethrough Text Generator?

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as Markdown ~~strike~~?
Markdown needs a renderer. Unicode strikethrough is plain characters you can paste anywhere.
Why does strikethrough look broken on some phones?
Older fonts stack combining marks poorly. Short phrases usually render better than long paragraphs.
