Text Line Decorator
Add combining strikethrough, underline, or overline marks to text.
How to use
- Enter a short phrase and choose strikethrough, underline, or overline.
- Copy the output and inspect it in the actual destination app.
- Keep plain spelling alongside decorated text for important information, names, and searchable content.
When to use this tool
Try line decorations in a field without HTML or rich-text formatting. Combining marks become part of the copied string, so the result changes the underlying text rather than only its visual style.
Inputs and settings
Result
Example input and actual output
- Source text: AB
- Line style: Strikethrough
A̶B̶
Strikethrough adds U+0336 after each grapheme. Underline uses U+0332 and overline U+0305. Whitespace is not decorated, and the destination font may render gaps in the line.
Scope and limitations
Rendering varies by app and font. Combining marks may affect search and screen readers; use plain text for essential content.

Frequently asked questions
Is the decorated text identical to the original?
No. Added combining marks can affect input limits, search, screen readers, and string matching.
Should I use this for strikethrough on a web page?
If you control the HTML, consider appropriate semantic markup or CSS text-decoration. This tool is for copying decorated strings.
Are whitespace characters decorated too?
Whitespace is not decorated. The destination font may also render gaps in the line.
