Strike through plain text with unicode characters? : 

<p>Is it possible to strike through <strike>unwanted</strike> revised words in your code comments? Since developers still code in <strike>the dark ages</strike> a simpler time of plain text where text cannot be formatted using hidden identifiers, the only way to accomplish this is with Unicode Characters.</p>

<p>Since some unicode characters can extend be̜̤͉̘̝̙͂̓ͫ̽̊̀y̐ͨͧͩ̚o̥̗̞̬̯͚͂n͔͖̤̜̖̪͒̈́ͅd̯̮ͭ their designated boundaries, I thought it might be possible to find a Unicode Character that creates the strike through effect.</p>

<p>Unfortunately dash characters &mdash; occupy a significant amount of horizontal space. Is there an alternative character that I can use to create the <strike>strike-through</strike> effect across my text?</p>
