In that case, despite the text in Section 22.7 that Ken quoted, it seems that U+0331 COMBINING MACRON might be a better choice for APL "underlined letters" than U+0332 COMBINING LOW LINE.

"Voting again" to change one of the basic rules of Unicode, on the basis that "perhaps feelings about the under-bar characters have changed since then," is not expected to be an option, as David said.
Doug is right. One small correction: U+0331 is COMBINING MACRON BELOW, not COMBINING MACRON.
Wikipedia has an excellent article on this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron_below -- Neil
