hungarumlaut
Definitions
The double acute accent (˝), a rare diacritical mark made up of two acute accents, chiefly used in the Hungarian language.
Examples
“The "regular umlaut" with the dieresis dots originated from a form⟳ with two vertical or slanted strokes (not unlike the "hungarumlaut" speaking in typographical terms).”
“For example, the small o with tilde, õ, has been displayed instead of o with the double⟳ acute accent (also known as the Hungarumlaut), ő, which is a different character.”
“Many accents are specific to certain languages; the double⟳ acute, for instance, is used solely in Hungarian and is sometimes referred to as the Hungarumlaut.”
