[AERNet] Nemeth question

Is the following situation one where I'd use the opening and closing  
bold type-face indicator?

This involves a place-value lesson, where one of the numerals/digits  
in a series, is underlined, and the student must identify the place  
value of the underlined numeral. The brailled math textbook uses the  
italics indicator all by itself, which can't be right because it  
looks like a decimal point. As an alternative to the change-in- 
typeface-bold indicator, I suppose I could use a Transcriber's note  
and tell the student which of the digits is underlined.

Any suggestions? Thank you.
