How the Line Is Added

A small line mark is added after every letter, and your app draws it through the middle. A slash version draws a diagonal line instead. The line may look slightly different between apps.

It is handy where there is no strikethrough button.

Use It for Jokes and Edits

Cross out a word and write another beside it. Show an old price next to a new one. Mark finished items in a list.

Do not rely on the line for meaning. Write changes out in words too. See strikethrough and underline in plain text apps.

How to Use It

Type or edit the text in the box. Each result updates as you type. Press Copy next to the style you like, then paste it into your bio, caption, chat or username. If you see empty boxes after pasting, that app lacks the symbol, so try another style.
