How strikethrough text works
Strikethrough uses Unicode combining diacritical marks — specifically U+0336 — that layer a line through each character. Unlike HTML strikethrough (``) which many platforms don't support, Unicode strikethrough works as plain text and displays correctly on Discord, Twitter, Reddit, and most modern apps. The crossed-out appearance is created by the Unicode combining mark, not by platform-specific formatting.
