Use strikethrough to show edited or corrected text.
Strikethrough is great for sarcastic or humorous "corrections" in posts.
This Unicode strikethrough works on Discord, Twitter, Facebook, and most platforms.
Unlike Discord's ~~strikethrough~~, this works everywhere Unicode is supported.

Strikethrough text draws a horizontal line through your characters, making it look like something has been crossed out. It works because of a Unicode trick: our generator adds a special combining character (U+0336) after each letter that tells devices to render a line through it. No special font needed.
Social media loves strikethrough for humor and corrections. Tweet something like 'I love Mondays' and it lands differently than a straight-faced statement. Fake corrections create comedic timing. Marketing teams use it for price comparisons, showing the old price crossed out next to the new one.
Platform support is solid across the board. Strikethrough renders correctly on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and most messaging apps. Some older Android devices might show weird spacing, but modern phones handle it fine. Test it by pasting into your Notes app first.
Creative uses go beyond jokes. Writers use strikethrough for dramatic effect in poetry and prose. Some people put their whole bio in strikethrough as an aesthetic choice. Others use it to show edit history, keeping the original text visible while adding corrections.
The effect works on any text, including numbers and some special characters. Emojis do not take strikethrough well since they are already complex Unicode sequences. Stick to letters and numbers for the cleanest results. Copy and paste directly from our tool to preserve the formatting.
