How strikethrough text works
Strikethrough does not swap letters at all — it appends a combining slash mark after every character. Your original text stays intact underneath, which is why struck text works on letters, digits, emoji and even Chinese characters alike.
Because the style adds marks rather than replacing characters, it works on any input. One trade-off: screen readers may read the underlying text normally, and some apps space the marks unevenly.
Where it shines
- Funny corrections and self-aware jokes in bios and chats

Using it on platforms
Strikethrough renders in most modern apps. In Discord, plain-text markdown (~~like this~~) exists for messages — Unicode strikes are for bios, nicknames and everywhere markdown is not available.

FAQ
Why does my struck text look uneven?
Apps draw combining marks with their own fonts, and some align them imperfectly. If the line looks broken, the bold struck style often aligns better because the letters are wider.
Can I strike through emoji?
Yes — the mark is added after the emoji, so the line crosses it. Results vary slightly per platform because emoji glyphs differ.
Is the original text still there underneath?
Yes. Strikethrough is purely visual — the characters are unchanged, so copy-paste, search and screen readers still see the base text.
