The Underscore (also known as Understrike, Low Dash, or Line) is a "special" character only used by fags who rebel against using the SPACE key to separate words from each other. It is represented as a horizontal line the size of the average Asian man's erect penis [ _ ], and typically shares the "Dash" character [ - ] on the same key.

On your Number Key Row, the Underscore key sits between the "0" and "+/=" keys.
