Double Strike Text Overview
Transform text into d̶̶o̶̶u̶̶b̶̶l̶̶e̶̶ s̶̶t̶̶r̶̶i̶̶k̶̶e̶̶ with two overlapping strikethrough lines for emphatic deletion. Perfect for dramatic corrections, changelog removals, and unmistakable cancellations.
The double strikethrough generator applies two overlapping strikethrough lines (d̶̶o̶̶u̶̶b̶̶l̶̶e̶̶) for emphatic, unmistakable deletion that's heavier and more visible than single strikethrough. Copy and paste this bold cancellation style into changelogs, deprecation notices, price comparisons, dramatic edits, and anywhere you need crossed-out text that absolutely cannot be missed.
Emphatic Text Deletion with the Double Strikethrough Generator
Sometimes you need deletion to be emphatic. Strikethrough is a typographic convention for showing removed or deprecated content, but single-line strikethrough can be subtle. Double Strike doubles the impact by applying the combining stroke overlay twice.
This tool uses the Combining Long Stroke Overlay (U+0336) applied twice to each character, creating a thicker, more emphatic line through your text: "removed" becomes "r̶̶e̶̶m̶̶o̶̶v̶̶e̶̶d̶̶", "$99" becomes "$̶̶9̶̶9̶̶".
The visual effect is unmistakably "deleted"—heavier and more authoritative than single strike, but still readable underneath. Perfect for contexts where the crossed-out content is still relevant (like showing original prices or deprecated features).

Comparing Strikethrough Intensities
TextGenerator.net offers multiple strikethrough styles for different contexts:
- Strike (s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶): Single line through text—subtle, professional, standard for corrections and edits. Best for: gentle corrections, casual edits, readable deletions
- Double Strike (s̶̶t̶̶r̶̶i̶̶k̶̶e̶̶): Two overlapping lines—heavy, emphatic, unmistakable. Best for: dramatic deletions, price slashes, deprecation notices, humorous emphasis
- Tilde Strike (s̴t̴r̴i̴k̴e̴): Wavy line through text—playful, informal, softer tone. Best for: casual humor, ironic corrections
- Readability preserved: Double Strike is still readable—the text underneath remains visible, which is important for contexts like price comparisons where you want people to see both values
- Platform rendering: Combining characters can render differently across platforms—Double Strike may appear as single thick line or two distinct lines depending on the font

Does double strike work on Discord and GitHub?
Yes! Double Strike uses Unicode combining characters that work on most modern platforms: Discord, GitHub, Twitter, Slack, and any text field. Some older systems may render it as single thick line.
What's the difference between Double Strike and regular Strike?
Strike (s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶) uses one line—subtle and professional. Double Strike (s̶̶t̶̶r̶̶i̶̶k̶̶e̶̶) uses two overlapping lines—heavy and emphatic. Choose Double when deletion needs to be unmistakable.
