Hi, I wonder there is any specific reason why the cell where X is placed is missing the under bar in the map? _ |X|

That's part of the design of the map. The character "X" is used for the content of the cell where the player is located, and the underscore "_" is used for the content of any empty cell.

There's also no standard way to display two characters in the same position, otherwise it would be a good idea to improve the look of the map.
