Computer code with shapes, equations, and underscores

I've attached two pages from my project that show the computer code is enclosed in rectangles. These rectangles are sometimes part of an equation. Since I want to use the same braille symbols for the rectangles (and the interior modification indicators) throughout the book, I made the decision to braille all of the rectangle-enclosed computer coding in Nemeth Code. That decision worked pretty well until I got to page 165 and there was underscoring between words in the rectangles. Nemeth Code doesn't have a symbol for underscoring. Now I'm just at a total loss. Any ideas for how I can do this using only one braille symbol for the rectangle and its interior modifications?
Hmmmm. Could you perhaps use the EBAE underscore ⠸⠸ (dots 456, 456) within Nemeth Code switch indicators? I don't think I can provide more specific feedback without seeing samples of your braille transcription.

I've done a partial transcription of the two pages I provided in the pdf file. For page 165, I've followed your suggestion to use the Computer Braille Code underscore symbol, and I defined it in a TN preceding the table. This may be the best solution. Please let me know if you think of anything else. The braille example is attached.
I see what you've done here, and it seems to get the information across. In the attached PDF, I've noted a few probable errors (mostly typos, and one note that, to the best of my understanding, the effect of a capitals indicator will not continue over/through the underscore).
Reading the rectangles (regular or 'calculator rectangles,' printed with rounded corners) within rectangles within rectangles, I admit to having struggled to unpack (hence my color-coding for proofreading in the attached file), but I think the information is there and consistent.
Braille on!
