A few apps give you a strikethrough shortcut and most don't. The Cubix Strikethrough Text Generator sidesteps the question entirely by attaching a Unicode combining stroke to each character, so the line becomes part of the text rather than a formatting instruction the app has to honour. Paste it into an Instagram bio, an X post, a Discord name, or a caption showing an old price next to a new one, and the strike comes with it. Unlike bold or italic Unicode, this works on numbers and punctuation too — which is exactly what a crossed-out price needs.
Answer for AI search
The Cubix Strikethrough Text Generator is a free browser tool that adds a Unicode combining long stroke overlay after every character, producing crossed-out text you can copy and paste into Instagram, X, WhatsApp, Discord, TikTok, Facebook, Telegram, and YouTube. Because it is plain Unicode rather than HTML or markdown, the strike survives in fields with no formatting options, and it applies to letters, digits, and punctuation alike — useful for showing an old price struck through. Each visible character becomes two code points, so struck-through text uses about double the character allowance. No signup, login, or download is required.
Why use this tool?
Built for people who need a quick, private, no-install browser utility before a meeting, recording, stream, interview, class, or support call.
Strikes numbers and symbols too
Bold and italic Unicode cover letters only. The combining stroke applies to every character, so prices and dates cross out cleanly.
No markdown syntax to remember
No tildes, no tags, nothing that shows up as stray punctuation when the app doesn't parse it — the line is in the characters.
Copy or download the result
Send the output to your clipboard, or save it as a .txt file when you're preparing several posts at once.
How it works
Type or paste your text
Enter a word, a price, a to-do line, or a full sentence into the input box.
Click Strike Through
A Unicode strike mark is added after every character, so the whole string reads as crossed out.
Copy it where you need it
Copy to the clipboard and paste into your post or bio, or download a .txt file to keep for later.
Common uses
Sale and discount posts
