Re^5: incorrect length of strings with diphthongs

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"). `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Ah interesting, all long vowels have an acute, "umlauts" even two in Hungarian. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
