Anyone know how to write a label expression that uses strikethrough text in ArcMap?  (Python or VBscript)

I'd like my labels to have a line striking through the text like this: 123-456-789. 

Is this doable?  I bet I'm missing something obvious here.  

Thanks,

Greg

It looks like the only option is to use the strikethrough style on the text symbol tools. This will apply it to the whole string, however. There doesn't appear to be any tags that allow for using the strikethrough on only a portion of the text. There's an old idea out there on this: https://community.esri.com/ideas/10940
