Whichever is the best term, I first thought (just seeing the subject line) the suggestion was about
what ECMA-48 does via CSI 9m… And is supported also in HTML, MS Word, and surely other
formats. Some ”mark-downs” (a bit surprisingly) use -crossedout text-; try pasting the typical 
output from the Unix/Linux command ”ls -l” and paste that into some place using that mark-down…
Or try it with any text that uses hyphens (as HYPHEN-MINUS). (I did not like the result…)
