Combining Long Stroke Overlay · U+0336
Each letter keeps its own code point — a separate combining mark character is glued on after it, not a new 'struck' letter.
Strikethrough Text Generator
Crossed-out (and underlined, overlined, dotted) text uses combining marks — small Unicode characters that attach to the letter before them, rather than a separate 'struck-through A'. That's why the effect can look different across fonts, and why it only applies to plain letters.
Coverage measures this generator's mappings, not device rendering or destination-app acceptance.
Strikethrough
16/19 characters supported (84%)S̶t̶y̶l̶e̶ y̶o̶u̶r̶ n̶a̶m̶e̶, J̶o̶s̶é 42
3 character(s) kept as original text (not supported by this style).

Adds a combining mark to plain ASCII letters only. Accented letters, digits, emoji and non-Latin scripts are preserved without a mark, to avoid stacking marks on top of existing accents.

What the characters actually are
How to use it
- Type your text.
- Compare strikethrough, single/double underline, overline, dotted and slashed.
- Copy the version you want. On multi-line text, the mark is added to every eligible letter on every line.
Limitations and compatibility
- Only plain ASCII letters (A-Z, a-z) get a mark added. Digits, accented letters and non-Latin scripts are left unmarked, specifically to avoid stacking a second mark on top of an existing accent.
- This is not the same as your app's native strikethrough/underline formatting, which most apps (WhatsApp, Discord, many editors) support directly and which usually renders more consistently — see our combining-marks guide for when to use which.
- Because the mark is a separate character glued to the letter, some fonts or older apps may render it with visible spacing gaps, especially with double underline or overline on adjacent letters.
Questions
Can I get strikethrough back to plain text?
Yes — our Plain Text Converter strips exactly the combining marks this tool adds, without touching real accents.
Will this work for crossing out a whole sentence for a joke edit?
Yes — each eligible letter gets its own mark, so a full sentence works the same way a single word does; just expect digits and punctuation to stay unmarked within it.
Why does double underline look different from single underline plus overline?
They use entirely different combining characters (a dedicated double-low-line mark vs. two separate single marks), so their exact vertical spacing and rendering can differ by font, even though they're conceptually similar effects.
