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.

03 How it works
The exact Unicode characters behind this style, copy-and-paste, not real formatting.
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.
04 Troubleshooting & confusables
| Looks like it | But it's actually | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| An underlined alphabet | A combining low line after every letter | The character count doubles, which matters where there is a length limit. |
| A continuous line | One segment per letter | Small gaps can appear between segments depending on the font and letter spacing. |
| A link | Plain underlined text | Avoid it where readers expect underlines to be clickable. It misleads. |
05 FAQ
Can I combine underline with bold or italic?
Yes, in principle. Apply the combining low line after an already-substituted bold or italic letter. Rendering gets less reliable the more you stack, so check it on the target platform.
Which character actually draws the line?
U+0332, the combining low line. It attaches to the character before it, so the underline is built one letter at a time rather than drawn across the whole word.
Why does the line have small gaps?
Each segment is sized to its own letter, so letter spacing and italic slant can leave hairline breaks between them. A dedicated underline style in a real editor draws one continuous rule instead.
Does it make my text longer?
Yes. Each visible letter costs two characters, so an underlined word counts double against any length limit.
Should I underline text on the web?
Be careful. Readers expect underlined text to be a link, so underlining something unclickable is misleading. Bold or a colour change is usually the better signal.
