Frequently Asked Questions

How does strikethrough text work?

Our tool uses Unicode combining characters (specifically U+0336) to overlay a strikethrough line on each character. This creates a universal strikethrough effect that works in any application supporting Unicode, including social media, messaging apps, and documents.

Where can I use strikethrough text?

Strikethrough text works everywhere Unicode is supported! Use it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, Reddit, and any other platform. It also works in Google Docs, Microsoft Word, notes apps, and email.

Is strikethrough text safe to use?

Yes, completely safe! The strikethrough effect uses standard Unicode characters that are universally recognized and supported. There are no special codes or scripts involved - just plain text with Unicode formatting.

Can I remove strikethrough from text?

While our tool generates strikethrough text, you can't directly remove it once applied. However, you can always copy your original text before conversion, or retype the text if needed. The strikethrough combines with each character individually.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Absolutely! Our strikethrough text generator works perfectly on all mobile devices including iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets. Copy and paste the generated text into any mobile app. You can also use other text tools like our Binary to Text converter or JSON formatter.
