Description
Proper noun marks. mentions that underlines are used for proper nouns.
I was researching Hmong orthographies and one source mentioned that single line underlines are for people's names, whereas place names use a double underline.
Is this the case for Chinese? If so, we should probably add information to the section.

Start with the “Proper noun marks” section linked in the issue and research whether Chinese typography distinguishes people's names with a single underline and place names with a double underline. If confirmed, update that section with the sourced information; done means the section accurately documents the distinction or explains that it does not apply.
