Unicode has acknowledged this issue and has proposed a standardized method for counteraction. This issue has created security considerations since "precomposed" characters like U+019F and sequences like U+004F U+0335 or U+004F U+0336 often cause visual confusion (compare Ɵ, O̵ and O̶). However, they are not precomposed characters and have neither canonical nor compatibility decompositions. These usually have specific functions (for example, in the Latin Extended-A character set) or representations and are not intended for general use. Similarly, the "combining short solidus overlay" (U+0337) results in diagonally struck out letters:Īs does the "combining long solidus overlay" (U+0338), which produces longer diagonal strokes:Ī̸B̸C̸D̸ ̸e̸f̸g̸h̸i̸ Specific struck-through characters Ī number of characters that have the visual appearance of struck-through characters exist in Unicode, including ƀ, Đđ, Ððᶞ, Ǥǥ, Ħħꟸ𐞕, Ɨɨᵻᶤᶧ, Ɉɉ, Łłᴌ, Ɵɵ, ꝵꝶ, Ŧ, Ʉʉᵾᶶ, Ƶ, ƻ, ʡ𐞳, ʢ𐞴, Ғғ, Ҟҟ, Ұұ, Ҍҍ. While the "combining short stroke overlay" (U+0335) results in individually struck out characters: The "combining long stroke overlay" (U+0336) results in an unbroken stroke across the text: In plain text scenarios where markup cannot be used, Unicode offers a number of combining characters that achieve similar effects. In HTML 5, this: ABCD efghi also produces the same result, although the use of CSS is preferred and the del tag carries a semantic interpretation not present in the purely stylistic s and strike tags. Strike The example above could then be written like this: ABCD efghi, which is compatible with HTML 4. To maintain backwards compatibility, the following can be added to the CSS: For example, ABCD efghi renders like this: ABCD efghi


In cascading style sheets (CSS) strikethrough is controlled using the text-decoration property, and specified by the line-through value of that property. Gmail chat uses minus sign - to wrap around text for strikethrough.GitHub flavored Markdown uses double tilde ~~ to wrap around text for strikethrough.To end strikethrough when using, type (ex.
