The four characters below don't have (named) entity references, so you need
to use character references:
| ő | for ő | [ TeX code \H{o} ] |
| Ő | for Ő | [ TeX code \H{O} ] |
| ű | for ű | [ TeX code \H{u} ] |
| Ű | for Ű | [ TeX code \H{U} ] |

from Császár Ákos,
Magyar származású
matematikusok hozzájárulása
a matematika fejlődéséhez
(Ákos Császár,
The contribution of mathematicians of Hungarian origin
to the development of mathematics)
names are in Hungarian format: Family names precede Given names
the starred names use double acute accents
the true given names are used; names in square brackets afterwards are alternative names often used in Western literature

Both father and son, Kőnig Gyula and Kőnig Dénes used the German spelling König in their publications. The otherwise wonderful mathematics history site www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/BiogIndex.html is unreliable about Hungarian diacritical marks (e.g., on www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Mathematicians/Konig_Julius.html K.Gy.'s birthplace should be Győr not Györ).
