The text defined by the HTML <u> tag should be styled differently or have non-text annotations. Traditionally, browsers will display the text found within the <u> tag as underlined text. This tag is also commonly referred to as the <u> element.
Tip: If you want to underline text, you should use CSS (for example, text-decoration attribute) instead of <u> markers. Note that the underlined text should not be confused with hyperlinks.
Use the <u> tag to add underlines to text:
