in thread incorrect length of strings with diphthongs

There's also ű in Hungarian (called "double acute" in Unicode).

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Using two bars instead of dots is acceptable in German, there are fonts which realize the umlauts ä,ö,ü this way. (see also this )

    That's because of the weird form of Kurrent's small e being written above the vowels.

    Apparently this is also connected to the history of the Czech letter Ů ů with an o superscript.

      Yes, but in Hungarian, ö and ő, and ü and ű are different letters (the double acute makes the vowel "longer").

        Ah interesting, all long vowels have an acute, "umlauts" even two in Hungarian.
