Currently, o" and u" are used for the doubly-acute-accented vowels of the
Hungarian language (meaning long ö and long ü, i.e. vowels with both umlaut
[for pitch change] and acute accent [for length]).
Decimal codes 336, 337, 368, 369, or hexadecimal U+0150, U+0151, U+0170 and
U+0171.
Best regards,
Tony.
