The HunKar module has four incorrectly encoded characters for what should be the double acute accented vowels. These are the "ő" and "ű" characters, and capitals "Ő" and "Ű". They require correcting by the following replacements:
õ -> ő û -> ű Õ -> Ő Û -> Ű The character counts are (respectively): 32206 3750 507 7 The HunKar Module Version is 1.2 (2002-03-02). This probably indicates that the same electronic text was used as found in the Unbound Bible project of Biola University. The ThML file at CCEL was also derived from the same source, so it is likely that the vast majority of electronic copies of the Károli Bible on the worldwide web have the same problem. It's conceivable that some suppliers of proprietary Bible software may have spotted this already and made suitable corrections. I haven't checked any of these. The incorrect codings probably arose from the use of a legacy font, in which the double acute accented vowels were represented by ANSII codes that are usually reserved for Latin characters not required by Hungarian. This must all date back to before the file conversion to Unicode.
