What this generator does

Add the Unicode COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY U+0336 after every non-whitespace code point to create copyable struck-through text. For example, `Text 20` becomes `T̶e̶x̶t̶ 2̶0̶`, while spaces, tabs, and line breaks remain unmarked. This changes the character sequence rather than applying HTML, CSS, or rich-text formatting. Fonts and apps may position the stroke differently, search and character counts can change, and complex emoji or existing combining marks may render poorly because processing is code-point based. It is often used to mark a joke as retracted or to show mock-deleted text, similar to an HTML `<del>` tag but working in plain-text fields. Generation and preview stay local, with other Unicode styles available before copying.

How to use it

Type or paste text into the Strikethrough Text Generator box; the result appears instantly and a copy button sends it straight to your clipboard.

Compatibility

The result is plain Unicode text, so its shape depends on the destination's font — most current apps render it fine, but very old software can show empty boxes.

Before posting

Some platforms count these characters differently toward length limits than plain ASCII, and a few spam filters flag unusual Unicode more readily — preview the result first.

Safe review

Read the output before publishing it and keep the plain original text handy in case a platform strips or mis-renders the styled version.

Other styles

If Strikethrough Text Generator isn't quite the look you want, this collection also has the Underline Text Generator and Bubble Text Generator for the same input.

Privacy

Every conversion happens locally in your browser; the text you type is never uploaded, logged, or stored by this tool.
