Is this the same as strikethrough formatting?
No. Each character gets a Unicode combining line, so the text stays crossed out when it is pasted as plain text. Use your editor’s own strikethrough formatting for documents when it is available.

Strikethrough text
Original
These are Unicode combining characters, not rich-text formatting. Support varies by font and platform, and screen readers may read them differently. Line breaks stay unchanged.

Strikethrough text questions
Why does the line look broken in some apps?
Apps, fonts and devices draw combining lines differently, so the line can show small gaps or sit a little higher or lower. Check the result where you plan to paste it.
What happens to emoji and line breaks?
An emoji, including a flag or a joined emoji, gets one line after the whole emoji. Line breaks stay as they are, so text on several lines keeps its shape.
Does the generator upload my text?
No. Conversion runs in your browser. The tool records interaction actions, not the text you enter.
