Frequently asked questions

What is strikethrough text?

Strikethrough text places a horizontal line through every letter. Our generator does this by combining each character with the Unicode strikethrough combining mark, so the styled text is real Unicode and can be pasted anywhere.

Does strikethrough text work on Instagram?

Yes. Strikethrough characters render in Instagram bios, captions, comments, and display names on iOS, Android and the web. Just tap the copy button and paste it into Instagram.

Will strikethrough work in WhatsApp and Discord?

Yes. WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram and most chat apps display the combining strikethrough mark correctly. Telegram and Discord also have their own native ~strikethrough~ formatting if you prefer.

Why does the line sometimes look offset?

The strikethrough is a combining character that sits on top of each letter. On certain fonts the line can appear slightly higher or lower. This is purely cosmetic and is consistent with how every Unicode strike generator works.

Is the strikethrough generator free?

Yes. JazzyText is free with no sign-up, no watermark, and nothing to install.

Can I unstrike text?

Strikethrough is added by combining each letter with an extra Unicode mark. To remove it, retype the text in our generator and copy the plain version, or strip combining characters in any text editor.

What is strikethrough text?

Strikethrough text adds a horizontal line through every letter you type. Our generator does this by attaching the Unicode combining long stroke overlay to each character, so the styled output works as plain text and can be pasted into apps that do not normally support text formatting.

Where can you use strikethrough text?

Tips for using strikethrough

  1. Use it for edits, sarcasm, or to highlight a price drop — not entire paragraphs.
  2. Pair struck text with a clear replacement value so the meaning stays obvious.
  3. Combining marks may not be readable by screen readers; avoid for accessibility-critical text.
  4. Preview the result on the destination app — the line height varies by font.
  5. On apps with native formatting (Discord, Telegram, Markdown), prefer the built-in syntax.
