Will the strikethrough text work on all platforms?

It works on most modern platforms that render Unicode, including Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, and most web browsers. Some older or plain-text-only systems may display the combining characters differently.

How is this different from HTML strikethrough?

HTML uses the or tag, which only works inside web pages. This tool uses a Unicode combining character (U+0336) that attaches directly to each letter, so the strikethrough effect survives copy-paste into any plain-text field.

Does it work with numbers and symbols?

Yes. The combining strikethrough character is applied to every character in your input, including digits, punctuation, and spaces — though spaces may not show a visible line on all renderers.

Can I use this for spaces or entire sentences?

Absolutely. Enter a full sentence or paragraph and every character will receive the strikethrough mark. The result is still plain text you can paste anywhere.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
