Yes, I'm Hungarian, and I'm not even mad (pun intended) about "mad" matching "madzag". I find that we ourselves sometimes conflate characters and letters, so many people's first thought would be that "madzag" is six letters. I think most other digraphs e.g. "sz" or "gy" are considered more tightly bound, so one would be unlikely to say that "szám" (=number) is four letters rather than three.

Yes but it’s utter nonsense that you shouldn’t return it as a search result. There’s no “dz” key on a Hungarian keyboard, so you’d need to create that (or an alternative way to type it)… and on top of that it’s not consistent.

The easiest way is to imagine text being written vertically. In some cases, the digraphs (or trigraphs) will be written together on a single line, and sometimes they’ll be written on separate lines.

However, more consistently, if you imagine a person’s initials, Csanádi Dzsenifer is CsDzs.
