About Strikethrough Text Generator (Cross Out Text)
The Strikethrough Text Generator draws a clean horizontal line through your letters (s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ or s̵t̵r̵i̵k̵e̵). Use it to indicate deleted items, show humorous second thoughts, display discount prices, or track completed to-do lists.
How Unicode Powers This Tool
Strikethrough text is achieved via the Unicode **Combining Long Stroke Overlay (U+0336)** and **Combining Short Stroke Overlay (U+0335)**. Each letter is dynamically paired with an overlay character that draws a continuous horizontal line across words.
