What is Strikethrough Font?

A line drawn straight through your words — that crossed-out effect is the entire trick here. Strikethrough Font appends Unicode’s combining character U+0336, the Combining Long Stroke Overlay, after every non-space character. The overlay draws a horizontal bar through the glyph it follows, so o̶l̶d̶ p̶r̶i̶c̶e̶ reads as deliberately cancelled text. No styling is involved; the line is part of the characters themselves.

How The Combining Stroke Works

Each visible character receives its own invisible overlay mark immediately after it, and that mark renders the line through the preceding glyph. Spaces are intentionally skipped so the bar does not stretch across gaps and split into disconnected segments. The result looks like a single continuous line over words, while quietly being many individual combining marks under the hood.

Letters, Numbers And Symbols

Because the overlay attaches to whatever precedes it, the effect is not limited to letters — digits and punctuation get crossed out just as cleanly. That makes it ideal for cancelled figures and edited symbol-heavy strings. One quirk: a few extra-wide glyphs render the stroke at slightly different widths, a universal display behaviour rather than anything specific to this tool.

Edits, Deletions And Price Drops

The crossed-out look carries a clear meaning: this was here, now it is retracted. That makes it perfect for to-do lists with finished items, mock-deleted chat messages, and viral price-drop posts where a slashed number sells the discount. Since the line travels with the text on copy-paste, w̶a̶s̶ 9̶9̶ keeps its struck appearance wherever you paste it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the line stay when I copy and paste?

Yes. The strike is created by combining marks embedded in the text, not by external formatting, so the crossed-out appearance travels with the characters into any app that supports the U+0336 overlay.

Why are spaces left untouched?

If the overlay were applied to spaces, the line would extend across empty gaps and look broken between words. Skipping spaces keeps the stroke visually continuous over the actual characters and tidy between separate words.

Can I cross out numbers and symbols too?

Absolutely. The overlay attaches to whatever character comes before it, so digits and punctuation are struck exactly like letters. That is why it works so well for cancelled prices and edited symbol-heavy text.

Why does the line look slightly uneven on some characters?

A handful of wide glyphs render the overlay at a marginally different width. This is a universal display quirk of combining marks across fonts, not a defect in the generated text, and it stays readable as crossed-out.

How is this different from the underline style?

Both use the same combining technique, but strikethrough applies U+0336 through the glyph to signal deleted content. The underline style uses a different mark below the glyph, which reads as emphasis rather than cancellation.
