Editing Old Hungarian script (section)

== Pre-Unicode encodings ==
A set of closely related 8-bit code pages exist, devised in the 1990s by Gabor Hosszú. These were mapped to Latin-1 or Latin-2 character set fonts. After installing one of them and applying their formatting to the document – because of the lack of capital letters – runic characters could be entered in the following way: those letters which are unique letters in today's Hungarian orthography are virtually lowercase ones, and can be written by simply pressing the specific key; and since the modern digraphs equal to separate rovás letters, they were encoded as 'uppercase' letters, i.e. in the space originally restricted for capitals. Thus, typing a lowercase ''g'' will produce the rovás character for the sound marked with Latin script ''g'', but entering an uppercase ''G'' will amount to a rovás sign equivalent to a digraph ''gy'' in Latin-based Hungarian orthography.
