About Strikethrough Text
Strikethrough text is created by adding Unicode combining characters — specifically the Combining Long Stroke Overlay (U+0336) — after each letter. Unlike HTML's <s> tag or markdown's ~~tilde~~ syntax, Unicode strikethrough works in any plain-text field.
Where does strikethrough text work?
- Twitter/X posts and bios
- Discord messages, usernames, and nicknames
- WhatsApp and Telegram messages
- Instagram captions and bios
- Facebook posts and comments
- Reddit comments and posts
- Any input field that supports Unicode
Which strikethrough style should I use?
The Strikethrough (U+0336) is the most widely recognised and renders consistently across devices. The Tilde Overlay (U+0334) has a creative, wavy look that stands out in social posts. The Short Stroke (U+0335) is more subtle and font-dependent.
How is this different from markdown strikethrough?
Markdown ~~text~~ only works in apps that parse markdown (Discord messages, Reddit, some editors). Unicode strikethrough is embedded in the characters themselves, so it displays correctly everywhere — even in plain text fields, email subjects, and app names.
