1-minute answer
Underline "fancy text" works the same way as strikethrough: a combining low line (U+0332) inserted after every letter, rather than a separate underlined alphabet.
01 Step by step, per platform
A real, followable procedure for every platform — not a thin restatement of the shortcut.
How it works
- Each letter is followed by U+0332, which the renderer draws as a line directly beneath it.
- Like strikethrough, this is a combining mark, not a look-alike letter set — there is no dedicated "underlined A–Z" block in Unicode.
02 FAQ
Can I combine this with bold or italic fancy text?
Technically yes — apply the combining low line to an already-substituted bold/italic look-alike letter — but rendering support gets progressively less reliable the more effects you stack.
Will "fancy text" work everywhere I paste it?
Mostly, since it's just Unicode text — but it isn't accessible: screen readers often can't pronounce these look-alike letters properly, and browser find-in-page / site search won't match them against the real word, since each is a different code point from the plain letter it resembles.
