When to use it
On the web an underline usually means a link, so on X it reads as emphasis with a hint of “look here”. Use it for one phrase you want people to find again, like a deadline or a name.
A double underline is stronger and rarer, which makes it good for a single total or result at the end of a post.
Letters that hang below the line, like g, p and y, can collide with the underline. Spaces are left plain, so the line breaks between words.
What styled text costs on X
These are not fonts in the usual sense. They are different characters that happen to look like styled letters, and X treats them that way.
| Where | Works | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Posts and replies | Yes | Each styled letter counts as 2 of your 280, so keep it to a line. |
| Display name | Yes | 50 characters at most, and styled letters use them twice as fast. |
| Bio | Yes | 160 characters. A styled job title or one styled word is plenty. |
| @handle | No | Handles only take plain letters, numbers and underscores. |
| Hashtags | No | A styled hashtag is not a hashtag. X won’t link it or count it. |
| Search | Poorly | Search looks for plain letters, so styled words are hard to find. |
The bigger cost is reading. Screen readers either skip these characters or read them out one by one, as in “mathematical bold capital H”. A styled word is fine. A styled post shuts out the people who listen to X rather than read it, and many people do. Keep the important part in plain text and use styles for decoration around it.
For the same reason, don’t put the point of a post in styled text. If the post only works when people can read the styled line, it doesn’t work for everyone. To see how much of the limit a whole post uses, paste it into the tweet character counter.
Questions
How do you underline on X?
X can’t format text, so you paste text that already carries the line. Type above, copy the underlined version and paste it.
Why is the underline broken between words?
The line is attached to each character, and spaces are left plain so words wrap normally. A continuous line would also underline the spaces.
Will people think underlined text is a link?
Some might, since links are often underlined on the web. X shows real links in blue, so it’s rarely confusing for long.
