Six ways to make text underlined
Single Underline draws a continuous rule beneath every character — including spaces — using the Unicode combining low line (U+0332). It's the closest plain-text equivalent to a word-processor underline.
Double Underline stacks two rules below each character using the combining double low line (U+0333), for a heavier, more formal or emphatic look.
Dotted Underline places a tiny dot under every character using the combining dot below (U+0323), giving a soft, editorial dotted-rule effect.
Dashed Underline uses the combining macron below (U+0331) — a short bar under each letter. The natural gaps between bars read as hand-drawn dashes.
Wavy Underline adds a small tilde under every character using the combining tilde below (U+0330), producing a flowing squiggle rule.
Stylish Underline isn't a combining mark at all — it draws a separate rule of ─ characters beneath your text with a ♥ heart centered in it, exactly matching the width of each line. It copies as a second line, so paste it where line breaks are allowed.
Where it's used
- Highlighting key words in Instagram bios or Discord messages

Frequently asked questions
How do I make underlined text?
Type your text in the box above. All six underline styles update instantly. Click Copy on the one you like, then paste it wherever you want it to appear.
Why does the underline look broken between letters?
The first five styles use Unicode combining marks, which attach to each individual character. Depending on the font and platform you paste them into, the rule may appear continuous or slightly segmented between letters.
Why does Stylish Underline paste as two lines?
Because it's a drawn rule, not a combining mark — the second line is the decoration (the ──♥── rule). Paste it somewhere line breaks are allowed, like bios, captions, posts, or comments. It won't work in single-line fields like usernames.
Is this a real font?
No — these are standard Unicode characters and combining marks, not a custom font file. That's exactly why they survive copy-paste into bios, chats, and usernames anywhere Unicode text is accepted.
