Description

There's an icon for the action of strikethrough, but no icon for the action of underline to use in a text editor.

Usage

I'm assuming this icon wasn't made because there was no use for it, since standard Markdown doesn't support underlining, but:

  • GitHub's markdown renders underlining with <ins>underline</ins>;
  • VS Code's built-in markdown preview renders underlining with <u>underline</u>;
  • Discord's markdown supports underlining with __underline__.

Having this icon would be relevant for other markdown editors to take advantage of that, or to be used in the context of any other text editor.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing strikethrough icon with the repository's icon set and contribution conventions. Add a matching underline action icon that can be used by Markdown and other text editors, then verify that it is available alongside the existing text-formatting icons.
