Frequently asked questions
How does strikethrough text work?
The tool adds a Unicode combining long stroke overlay to each letter. The base letter stays readable with a line through it.
Can I strikethrough text on Instagram?
Instagram does not offer native strikethrough in bios. Unicode strikethrough is a workaround that works in many cases when pasted.
Is this the same as cross out text?
Yes. Cross out text, strikethrough font, and line-through text searches usually mean the same Unicode effect.
Does strikethrough work on Discord?
Discord has its own ~~markdown~~ strikethrough in messages. Unicode strikethrough is still useful for nicknames and platforms without markdown.
