Strikethrough Text Symbols: types, meanings and practical differences
Combining overlay marks draw a line through or under the character before them, producing struck text that stays selectable.
These swap your letters for styled ones. The result is text, not a font. Stored on this page are 118 entries, split 40 single characters to 78 sequences.
You will meet Combining Long Stroke Overlay, Latin Small Letter A + Combining Long Stroke Overlay, Latin Small Letter K + Combining Long Stroke Overlay, Latin Small Letter V + Combining Long Stroke Overlay among these.

How the official names cluster
Latin Small Letter (90), Combining Long Stroke (27), Combining Short Solidus (27) lead the name frequencies — measured, not assumed.
Joiners, selectors and length
Of the sequences, 0 rely on a zero-width joiner and 0 on a variation selector; 2 code points is the longest single entry.
How to choose the right form
Watch out for Latin Small Letter A + Combining Long Stroke Overlay next to Latin Small Letter E With Stroke. They are different characters: U+0061 U+0336 and U+0247. Text sequence is the safe default at 78 entries.
Only reach for combining mark when the narrower sense is the point. Always check it in the place it will appear.
The grouping here follows practical use, not Unicode's formal categories.

Strikethrough Text Symbols explained in plain English
Short summary
Pick from 118 strikethrough text symbols on this page. The largest set is text sequence, with 78. Their home in Unicode is the Combining Diacritical Marks block.
Sorted into 3 kinds
Text sequence is the biggest at 78. The rest split between text sequence and letter.
Encoding, and why coverage varies
They come from Combining Diacritical Marks (89), Basic Latin (78) and Latin Extended-B (17). Across U+00F8 to U+2C63, support gets patchy at the newer end.
Easy to confuse
Compare Latin Small Letter A + Combining Long Stroke Overlay with Latin Small Letter E With Stroke. Same shape, different code point.
78 entries are sequences
Half-copying breaks 78 of these. Take the whole value.

What the strikethrough text symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 118 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Combining Diacritical Marks (89), Basic Latin (78) and Latin Extended-B (17).
| Group | Entries | Examples | Code points | Usual presentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combining mark | 11 | ̶ ̷ ̸ | U+0332–U+0338 | Text presentation |
| Text sequence | 78 | a̶ b̶ c̶ | sequence | Text presentation |
| Letter | 29 | Ⱥ Ƀ Ȼ | U+0110–U+0246 | Text presentation |
Practical note: Presentation is the typical default. A variation selector, a specific font stack, or an application that overrides emoji rendering can change what you see after pasting.

Tip: A symbol should decorate a label, not replace it — plain words keep the meaning available to search and to assistive technology.

How to type these strikethrough text symbols directly
If you would rather type than paste, the codes below are what you need — the decimal value for Windows, the hexadecimal for Word and macOS.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ̶ | Combining Long Stroke Overlay | Alt 822 | 0336 | ̶ |
| Ɨ | Latin Capital Letter I With Stroke | Alt 407 | 0197 | Ɨ |
| ɇ | Latin Small Letter E With Stroke | Alt 583 | 0247 | ɇ |
| ᵻ | Latin Small Capital Letter I With Stroke | Alt 7547 | 1D7B | ᵻ |
Two limits apply to alt codes: a physical keypad, and a ceiling at U+FFFF. A further 78 are sequences, which no shortcut reproduces — copy those instead. Each platform's method is spelled out in the keyboard guide.

How strikethrough text symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
About 48% come from Combining Diacritical Marks. The rest come from Basic Latin and Latin Extended-B. These are all plain text.
Style them like any other letter. 78 are built from more than one character. Copy the whole thing, or it breaks apart.
What travels is the character; what you see is whatever font the destination reaches for. That is why the same strikethrough text symbol can look heavier on a phone than in a document.

Strikethrough Text Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Latin Small Letter A + Combining Long Stroke Overlay and Latin Small Letter E With Stroke?+
They are two distinct Unicode characters: Latin Small Letter A + Combining Long Stroke Overlay is U+0061 U+0336 (HTML a ̶) and Latin Small Letter E With Stroke is U+0247 (HTML ɇ). A font may draw them almost identically, but they sort and search as separate values.
What is the HTML code for combining long stroke overlay?+
̶ is the hexadecimal form and ̶ the decimal one; both render as ̶. On a page that declares UTF-8 you can also just paste the character.
Do these strikethrough text symbols change colour with my text?+
Yes. None of the 118 entries on this page carry emoji properties, so each one inherits the colour, weight and size of the text around it, exactly like a letter does.
Why does one of these strikethrough text symbols split apart when I paste it?+
78 entries here are sequences of more than one code point. If the destination does not support the sequence, or if the copy was truncated, the parts render individually. Copy the entry with the button rather than by selecting the characters.
Which Unicode block are these strikethrough text symbols in?+
The answer is Combining Diacritical Marks, covering 89 of them; the rest come from Basic Latin and Latin Extended-B. That matters because a font either supports a block broadly or barely at all.
Which strikethrough text symbol should I choose?+
Watch out for <b>Latin Small Letter A + Combining Long Stroke Overlay</b> next to <b>Latin Small Letter E With Stroke</b>. They are different characters: U+0061 U+0336 and U+0247. <b>Text sequence</b> is the safe default at <b>78</b> entries. Only reach for combining mark when the narrower sense is the point. Always check it in the place it will appear.
