Cross out text that stays crossed out when pasted
A line through text usually needs formatting the destination supports, and most plain-text fields do not. This generator instead builds strikethrough, underline and slashed text using Unicode combining marks, so the line is part of the characters themselves and survives being pasted into a bio, a chat or a comment where formatting would normally be stripped.
How combining marks draw the line
A combining mark is a character that attaches to the one before it, adding a stroke through or under it. By placing a combining strikethrough on each letter, the line is baked into the text rather than applied as formatting. That is why it holds up in places a formatting button cannot reach, and why the effect travels with a copy-paste.
Decorative, with the usual accessibility caveat
Struck-through Unicode text is great for a playful "was $50 now $30" effect or a crossed-out joke, but the combining marks make the text harder for screen readers and search to handle. Use it for visible decoration, not for words that need to be machine-read. The generation runs entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the strikethrough survive pasting?
It is drawn with Unicode combining marks attached to each letter, so the line is part of the characters rather than formatting the destination could strip.
What styles does it produce?
Strikethrough, underline and slashed text, all built from combining marks.
Is there an accessibility downside?
Yes. Combining marks make text harder for screen readers and search, so use the effect for visible decoration rather than important words.
Where can I use it?
Anywhere that accepts Unicode text, such as bios, chats and comments, since the effect is in the characters.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The generation runs entirely in your browser.
