Hello,
that means the underscore is being 'escaped' before inserting to database. We escape values using the default db function, which doesn't escape (_) signs. We have tested your data here and we see the value ok. Do you see the escape sign(\) both at the table records and inside the html editor?.
You can try to change field type to 'text' and try a new load in order to check if really the escaping is being done at database insert. Let us know if you still see the escape sign at records view and we'll guide you through next step.

Regards
