Strikethrough text uses Unicode Combining Long Stroke Overlay characters (U+0336) to create a horizontal line through text. This creates a distinctive crossed-out appearance that is commonly used to indicate deleted, cancelled, or outdated information.
Strikethrough text is perfect for creating crossed-out effects, showing corrections, indicating deleted items, or adding a unique visual style to your content. The strikethrough effect makes text stand out and clearly indicates that something has been removed or is no longer valid.
Strikethrough text is different from regular formatting. While you can add strikethrough with CSS, Unicode strikethrough characters work consistently across all platforms and don't require special styling or font support. These are actual Unicode combining characters that create the strikethrough effect.
The strikethrough effect is created by combining each character with the Unicode combining character U+0336, which adds a horizontal line overlay to the text. This creates a professional-looking strikethrough effect that works everywhere.
