What this calculator does

This generator does not use font formatting at all — it inserts a real Unicode combining character after every letter, which draws a line straight through it. Because it is plain text, the strikethrough effect carries over into places that don’t support rich text formatting, like many chat apps and bios.

How it works

Pick the characters of a short phrase from the dropdowns. The calculator inserts the Unicode combining long stroke overlay character (U+0336) immediately after each character you choose.

Rendering can vary slightly between fonts and apps since combining characters rely on the font/renderer to stack them correctly, but the technique is supported almost everywhere modern Unicode text is displayed.
