Well for those of you not viewing your mail through a terminal they are characters that tell the tell the terminal to underline the text.
I had typed: I^H_ to get I_ or an underlined I. ^H is the backspace character so It's printing an I, backspacing then printing an underscore which tells some terminals to underline the character. However as kbob pointed out it is better to do ^H_I : _I so if the terminal doesn't support it, it will supposedly show the letter rather than the underscore. However I see in some terminals it will print _I rather than an underlined I. In vi typing ctrl+h will delete the previous character so I use ctrl+v to escape it. Thus I actually type: ^V^H_I to get an underlined I via vim.
