If not, what OS/browser do you use?
Edit: It looks ok, on linux with firefox.

I can see it stroken through in Opera 12.17 and Firefox 33.1 but you used an "n" instead of a "h" at the end of "trough", for a minute I thought that's a rendering bug. The strike through apparently doesn't play well with the URL of this topic.

Cool, it was written with unicode strike-through combining char (U0336).
So it is a kind of unicode support test.

It [n instead of h] was my typo.

Yeah, but it was kind of a funny one because it could well have been a rendering bug, especially with trusty old Opera 12.

Yes, it is not perfect on my machine (linux/firefox 33.1.1). But it is pretty good. It looks like the strike-through line is a bit longer than it should be. It seems to overhang about half a character width past each character it is applied to. Unicode composing character (U0336 in this case) should follow the character it is applied to. In some programs (e.g. an older version of meld), it seems to be incorrectly applied to the following character.

Muririum: Yes, ugly. It is a nice straight line here:

My line is perfectly straight as well, as said on Opera 12.17 and Firefox 33.1, Windows 7 Pro 64bit. It looks a bit different on both browsers.

I'm checking how it is supported since I'm considering using it for edits here since there is no strike-through BBCode. I hoped it would work fine everywhere.

There is a strike-through BBCode, it's [ s ]xyz[ /s ]: xyz
The option is just hidden, I don't know why.

Great! Thanks.

Now you get it. And it looks proper in every browser.

Pro tip: whenever you see someone pull a cool trick in their post, hit the quote button and see precisely how they did it. That's how I learned strikeout and even embedded URLs without bothering to check for BBcode docs.

I just noticed, that the Unicode looks like underlined characters in Opera's "trash can", weird.

The trash can for closed tabs is one of the best features Opera has and one of the reasons I still use it despite some minor problems with some websites.

I'd probably consider it, if I ran Windows. Opera's Mac client is second tier and that's no place to live for one of your most important applications. They're always been good for features, naturally.

That is not good since there is a separate u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲ unicode combining character (U0332).

I use vimperator on firefox and I have `u` (as undo) instead of a crash can. Or history which is probably not as good. `u` to reopen the last closed tab is enough for me.

A whole history of closed tabs is a sweet feature, though. Pretty sure I used to get that on OmniWeb or Firefox, way back when. Might have been a feature from Google's Browser Sync plugin, which they killed in 2005 or something, and earned my eternal distrust ever since!

The Unicode strikethrough looks fine on Android 5.0 with Chrome 39.0.
