How it works
Strikethrough adds the combining long stroke overlay (U+0336) after each character. Underline uses U+0332 and the slash style U+0338.

Where it works
The result is plain Unicode text, not a font, so you can paste it into Instagram and TikTok bios, X posts, Discord, WhatsApp and most apps. Very old phones may show empty boxes for characters they don't have.
Screen readers may read styled letters one by one or skip them, so keep important information in normal text.
Frequently asked questions
How do I cross out text on Instagram?
Instagram has no strikethrough button, but text made here carries the line with it when you paste it.
Does it work for any language?
Yes. A combining line is added after each character, so it also works on accented letters and other scripts.
Why does the line look broken?
Each character gets its own line segment; some fonts don't join them perfectly.
