What is Strikethrough Text Generator & How Does It Work?

This generator creates plain text with a combining stroke, which can be copied into fields that accept Unicode but do not offer rich text formatting. It appends U+0336 to each visible grapheme rather than inserting HTML or Markdown syntax.

Spaces and line breaks are preserved. Combining accents and joined emoji are kept together. Existing long-stroke overlays are removed first to avoid doubled marks. The output is limited to 10,000 input characters, and its appearance depends on the destination font. For accessible documents, use the editor’s native formatting instead.
