Bold and italics

We are thinking of letting members add bold and italics to messages for emphasis. Being of the old school I don't wholeheartedly approve of such new-fangl ednesses, but hmm... Anyway, I figured we'd use [b]bold section[/b] and [i]italic section[/i] for italics (too much WordPerfect reveal codes in my youth). Anyone have any better ideas?
Of course, they'd display as bold and italic in the message.

YEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Aha - the order has changed. ACU, asterisk caret underline, mnemonic anyone? (Or TAU, twinkle arrow underline...?)
