Uses Unicode combining long stroke overlay (U+0336) after each character — works in many bios, chats, and plain-text fields where rich-text strikethrough is unavailable.
A strikethrough text generator adds a visible line through your words using Unicode combining characters — so you can paste crossed-out text into bios, chats, and captions where bold or HTML formatting is not available.
This Muxgen tool appends U+0336 (combining long stroke overlay) after each character on encode, and strips combining marks on decode. All processing runs locally in your browser.
Three quick steps to cross out or decode text.
Text to Strikethrough to cross out, or Strikethrough to Text to remove lines.
Type in strikethrough-input — output updates on every keystroke.
Copy output into bios, posts, chats, or mockups — test one line first.
Every control in the strikethrough text generator component.
Mode toggle — encode or decode buttons.
Textarea id strikethrough-input — min-height 40; labels per mode.
Read-only id strikethrough-output — live useMemo.
Combining long stroke overlay appended on encode.
U+0335 U+0336 U+0337 U+0338 removed on decode; skipped on re-encode.
Spread input — base char + LONG_STROKE per code unit.
Filter out strike combining marks from pasted text.
Disabled when output is empty.
Encode: old price crossed out. Decode: struck old price string.
Ghost button clears input only.
Footer explains U+0336 plain-text strikethrough.
