Underline in Discord: How to Underline Text (__ Guide)

How to underline in Discord

  1. Type two underscores: __
  2. Write your text — symbols hugging the words, no spaces.
  3. Close with __ and send.

The classic mistake: single underscores. _text_ is italic; underline needs the double __text__.

Underline combinations

__*text*__ underline italic, **__text__** bold underline, __~~text~~__ underline strikethrough — all stack cleanly.

Underline in names

Names ignore markdown. Unicode underline (combining low lines) from the generator works in some name fields, but renders unevenly on some devices — test with a friend before committing to it.

Underline questions

Why is my underline showing as italic?

You typed one underscore per side. Italic is _one_, underline is __two__.

Can I underline a whole heading?

Yes — # __Heading__ gives a big bold underlined line. Headers and underline combine.
