Re^3: incorrect length of strings with diphthongs

It's a matter of debate if u + ¨ is an umlaut, that's really depending on the definition of umlaut.

Interestingly it's possible to combine ü + ¨ to pile up tremas

I see huts with smoking chimneys ;-)

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]`	[reply] [d/l]

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]
