Frequently Asked Questions
How does Unicode strikethrough work?
A combining character (U+0336) is added after each character. When rendered, it draws a horizontal line through the preceding character.
Will strikethrough work on all platforms?
It works on most modern platforms including Reddit, Discord, Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Older systems may display it incorrectly.
Is this different from Reddit's ~~strikethrough~~?
Yes. Reddit's ~~ syntax only works within Reddit's Markdown renderer. Our Unicode strikethrough works anywhere including plain text fields.
Can I search for strikethrough text?
The combining characters make strikethrough text technically different from regular text, so it may not appear in standard searches.
Can I apply it to just part of a sentence?
Currently the tool applies strikethrough to all text. Copy-paste the output and manually combine it with regular text.
