~Strike this out~
The main style adds a combining long stroke overlay to each character, so the text looks crossed out when pasted anywhere. Short slash, slash and underline combinations are also available.
Two more outputs wrap the text in the syntax of Markdown (two tildes on each side) and WhatsApp (one tilde), which render as real strikethrough in apps that support them and stay searchable.
No. These are Unicode characters that happen to look like styled letters, so they paste into any app that accepts text, with no font installation. Because they are different characters from normal letters, search and screen readers may handle them differently.
Use Markdown or WhatsApp syntax if the app supports it, since it is real formatting. Use the combining character version anywhere else.
Some read each crossed character separately. Use it for short phrases.
