Escaping underline in telegram api when parse_mode = Markdown

How can I send this text correctly:

$parameters['text'] = 'you must see [example](example.com) or contact with @exmaple_com';

if I don’t use “Markdown”, telegram don’t show the above link
if I use “Markdown”, telegram can’t handle underline.

    you should use backslash scapes to do so:

    $parameters['text'] = 'you must see [example](example.com) or contact with @exmaple\_com';

    When you set your parse_mode on Markdown or MarkdownV2, you can’t use these characters directly:
    ()._-

    You should escape them using backslash,

    Also, you should escape backslash itself.
    for example, in Golang I wrote this function to solve my problem:

    func FmtTelegram(input string) string {
  return strings.NewReplacer(
    "(", "\(", // ()_-. are reserved by telegram.
    ")", "\)",
    "_", "\_",
    ".", "\.",
    "-", "\-",
  ).Replace(input)
}

    And in PHP you should escape like this:

    $parameters['text'] = '\_com';
# or
$parameters['text'] = '\.com';
# or
$parameters['text'] = '\-com';
# or
$parameters['text'] = '\(com\)';
