Double acute accent

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia


Double acute accent is a diacritic mark used in written Hungarian.

Hungarian has seven short vowels (a, e, i, o, u, acute accent (?/A>, ? ?/A>, ?/A>, ?/A>). (The accented a and e is not really just a longer version but articulated differently.)

The double acute acts as combined acute with umlaut, giving the longer version of ?/em> and ?/em>.

The codes are supported in the ISO 8859-2 and UTF-8 codepages, the letters are:

őU0151latin small letter o with double acute
űU0171latin small letter u with double acute
ŐU0150latin capital letter o with double acute
ŰU0170latin capital letter u with double acute
