Underline Text Generator

Underline text with combining marks that survive pasting.

Underlined text online means "link". Underlining something that is not clickable makes readers try to click it, so bold is usually the better signal.

The second line is monospaced, where the segments meet evenly.

Quick Tool Overview

The Underline Text Generator uses combining marks so the underline survives being pasted into plain text. The page also says plainly that underlined text online reads as a link, which is a real usability problem rather than just a style preference.

About the Underline Text Generator

Underline is the one text decoration with a competing meaning online: on the web, underlined text means a link. That is worth knowing before using it, because underlining something that is not clickable is a genuine usability problem, not just a style choice.

Where it is still the right call — a plain text document, a chat message, a signature — the Unicode approach uses combining marks that draw a line under each character and survive being pasted anywhere. Single underline, double underline and a low-line variant are all available, since they render differently across devices. Screen readers ignore the marks entirely, so the underline carries no meaning for anyone using one.

Key features of the Underline Text Generator

Three underline styles

Single, double and low line, which render differently across device fonts.

Survives pasting

The line is part of the characters, so it goes wherever the text goes.

Warns about the link convention

Underlined text online means clickable, and underlining something inert makes readers try.

Explains the broken look

Proportional fonts leave gaps between the per-character segments; monospaced ones do not.

Reversible

The marks strip cleanly with the Remove Accents tool, leaving the original text.
