While long vowels count as different letters, long (or geminate) consonants don't. Long consonants are marked by duplication: e.g. <tt>, <gg>, <zz> (ette 'he ate (det.obj.)', függ 'it hangs', azzal 'with that'). For the di- and tri-graphs a simplification rule applies: only the first letter is duplicated: e.g. <sz>+<sz>→<ssz> (asszony 'woman'), <ty>+<ty>→<tty> (hattyú 'swan'), <dzs>+<dzs>→<ddzs> (briddzsel 'with bridge (card game)').
Except at the joining points of composite words, for example: jegygyűrű 'engagement ring' (jegy + gyűrű) not *jeggyűrű. In linguistics, vowel length is the perceived duration of a vowel sound. ...
In phonetics, gemination is when a spoken consonant is doubled, so that it is pronounced for an audibly longer period of time than a single consonant. ...
Capitalisation

- Csak jót mondhatunk Székely Csabáról.

Alphabetical ordering (collation) While the characters with diacritical marks are considered separate letters, vowels that differ only in length are treated the same when ordering words. Therefore, for example, O and Ó are not distinguished in ordering, neither are Ö and Ő, but the latter two follow the O's.
The polygraphic consonant signs are treated as single letters.

- könnyű is collated as <k><ö><ny><ny><ű>. tizennyolc of course as <t><i><z><e><n><ny><o><l><c>, as this is a compound: tizen+nyolc ('above ten' + 'eight' = 'eighteen').
Similar 'ambiguities', which can occur with compounds (which are highly common in Hungarian) are dissolved and collated by sense. In linguistics, a compound is a lexeme (a word) that consists of more than one other lexeme. ...
- e.g. házszám 'house number (address)' = ház + szám and of course not *házs + *zám.
