  Here’s why you may not want to use underline to emphasize text. Underlined text usually denotes the presence of a link, so underlining regular text can be confusing for readability and accessibility. Both bold text and italic text can add emphasis when needed.

  Hope that also helps.

  Thanks for the input. I searched around the web and found out you just have to underline it on your own keyboard. However, I am not finding the full, 2 line set of editing icons…it’s frustrating. I’ll just muddle through.

  It’s the icon on the far right of the first row of formatting icons. Clicking that opens the second row of icons. https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/
