Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Slash Through different from regular Strikethrough?
Slash Through (T̷e̷x̷t̷) uses U+0337 (Combining Short Solidus Overlay) which creates a diagonal line through characters, like a forward slash. Strikethrough (T̶e̶x̶t̶) uses U+0336 for a horizontal line. Slash Through has a more aggressive, 'actively cancelling' appearance—popular for aesthetic effect, rejection statements, or dynamic visual emphasis rather than simple deletions.
When should I use Slash Through vs Strikethrough for social media?
Use Strikethrough for: corrections, edits, showing changed minds, or gentle humor. Use Slash Through for: stronger rejections ('N̷O̷ means N̷O̷'), aesthetic/artistic effect, dramatic statements, or when you want text to look 'violently' crossed out. Slash Through feels more emphatic and emotional; Strikethrough feels more editorial and matter-of-fact.
Does Slash Through text render consistently across devices?
Like all combining characters, Slash Through depends on font support. Most modern system fonts (iOS San Francisco, Android Roboto, Windows Segoe UI) render it correctly. The diagonal line should pass through each character center. Some fonts may position it slightly differently, but it's generally recognizable across platforms. Older or decorative fonts may have issues.
Can I use Slash Through for pricing displays showing discounts?
Slash Through works great for showing original prices: '$̷1̷0̷0̷ → $50' or 'Was: $̷2̷9̷.̷9̷9̷ Now: $19.99'. The diagonal slash feels more dynamic than horizontal strikethrough—like the price is being actively slashed. E-commerce accounts on Instagram and Pinterest use this technique for sale announcements. Note: Unicode prices aren't machine-readable, so use for visual effect only.
Why is Slash Through popular in alternative and punk aesthetics?
The aggressive diagonal slash evokes graffiti, punk zines, and DIY aesthetics where text is literally crossed out by hand. It has anti-establishment, rebellious connotations—'reject the mainstream' energy. Alt fashion, punk rock, anarchist, and counter-culture accounts use Slash Through to signal authenticity and rejection of polished corporate aesthetics. It looks handmade and intentionally imperfect.
