italics cancel out and you have regular text
50%
italics+bold
19.4%
italics+underline
11.1%
even more italics somehow?

our first thought is italics+bold, but on further consideration I think italics+underline is more logical.

you could probably come up with a CSS rule for it. maybe

i em { text-decoration: underline; }

or something? we don't really know CSS.

edit: you'd probably want the same for em i on further consideration

asterisk-italics is basically HTML em tag: marking text for emphasis.

underscore-italics is any other function italics can serve, including book titles, emotes on Discord (which doesn't support real emotes), math variables, whatever. best approximation might be HTML i tag, but it's definitely losing data.

when reading Markdown, should *asterisk-italics* and _underline-italics_ be interpreted the same?
yes, they're equivalent
23.1%
yes, any apparent distinction is too inconsistent between authors
42.3%
yes, they're different but there's no good way to represent that difference in e.g. HTML
26.9%
no, they should be interpreted differently (how?)
