Strikethrough and Underline Text Generator

You want to display crossed-out original pricing ($99 $49) in an Instagram caption or mark completed deliverables in WhatsApp, but the platform lacks built-in formatting buttons.

DataKorex Radical Transparency: We attach combining Unicode diacritical marks (such as U+0336 and U+0332) to each character in real time inside your browser ($0). The resulting string remains crossed out across all mobile feeds and chat apps.

How to use Strikethrough step by step

1. 1. Type the text you wish to cross out: Enter your copy or discounted price into the input field; styles render instantly.
2. 2. Select typographical style: Choose single strikethrough, double cross-out, clean underline, waves, or bubble circles.
3. 3. Copy and paste into your feed: Click Copy Style and paste directly into WhatsApp chats, e-commerce sale tags, or social posts.

The Step Count: Traditional Friction vs. KorexTools

Formatting without Unicode combining marks (4 typical roadblocks)

1. Typing HTML `<del>` tags that render as broken code on social channels.
2. Forgetting platform-specific shortcuts like WhatsApp's ~tilde~ syntax on other apps.
3. Being unable to underline text on Instagram bios or LinkedIn posts.
4. Installing browser extensions that request excessive permissions.

With KorexTools Strikethrough Text (3 steps in 1 second)

1. Type your copy or pricing string into the main input field.
2. Select between single strike, double line, underline, or bubble typography.
3. Click "Copy Style" and paste directly into your caption or message.

How combining diacritical marks enable portable crossed-out text everywhere

In traditional document processors, strikethrough formatting relies on rich markup like `<del>` or `<s>` tags. However, social channels, chat apps, and gaming forms strip or reject HTML tags, leaving plain text without formatting.

KorexTools applies Unicode combining diacritical marks (such as U+0336 for horizontal cross-outs or U+0332 for underlines) directly onto each individual character. This makes the strikethrough an inherent property of the string itself, allowing it to remain crossed out across Twitter, Instagram bios, WhatsApp messages, and email subjects.

Included typographical formats

• Single Strikethrough: The industry standard for crossed-out previous prices in sales promotions.
• Double Cross-out: Enhanced contrast for creative revisions and bulleted lists.
• Underline Styling: Adds clean underlines on social networks lacking native formatting tools.
• Circled Bubble Letters: Wraps alphanumeric characters inside sleek Unicode bubbles.

The Unicode principle: Combining diacritics vs. visual markup

HTML formatting tags depend on browser layout engines for rendering. Combining diacritical marks are baked directly into the Unicode string itself, ensuring cross-platform persistence across iOS, Android, and Windows terminal environments.

What Strikethrough Text does NOT solve (Radical Honesty)

• Does not delete the underlying text (letters remain visible beneath the cross-out).
• Does not redact confidential information (characters can still be highlighted and read).
• Very small or condensed fonts may exhibit visual line overlap.

Privacy Risks & Common Expensive Mistakes to Avoid

Unicode combining text is 100% compliant with international standards and does not violate any social platform community guidelines.

• Truncating strings mid-word, leaving orphan diacritical marks.
• Overusing cross-out styling across entire paragraphs, hurting message legibility.
