What is strikethrough text?

Strikethrough text uses Unicode combining characters that draw a horizontal line through each letter like t̶h̶i̶s̶. It creates a crossed-out effect as plain text — no formatting tools needed, works anywhere text is accepted.

Why use strikethrough text in your posts?

Strikethrough text is widely used for humour, contrast, and showing 'revised thinking' in LinkedIn posts. A common pattern: write what you used to believe in strikethrough, then state what you know now. It drives engagement and comments.

Frequently asked questions

What is strikethrough text?
Strikethrough text uses Unicode combining overlay characters that add a horizontal line through each letter. The result looks like crossed-out text and works as plain text on LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and WhatsApp.
Does strikethrough work on LinkedIn posts?
Yes. Unicode strikethrough characters paste directly into LinkedIn posts and display the strikethrough effect for all readers — no special formatting needed.
Why do LinkedIn creators use strikethrough text?
The most common pattern is contrast: write an old belief in strikethrough, then correct it. For example: 'W̶o̶r̶k̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶ Work smart.' This pattern is proven to stop the scroll and generate comments.
Is the strikethrough text generator free?
Yes, completely free with no login required.
Can I combine strikethrough with bold text?
You can use bold text and strikethrough text in the same post — generate each separately and combine them. However, combining both on the same word is not supported as a Unicode character combination.
