Yes, Hungarian has a few letters that are 2 characters long and one that is 3. So depending on culture settings this can get taken into account (same for SQL Server etc.). Unfortunately, as with other culture or datetime related problems there are weird corner cases. For example the word "pácsó" (meaning curing salt) consists of two parts, "pác" and "só", so even though c and s are next to each other they are two different letters and pronounced as such. Needless to say the computer has no way of knowing this, so StartsWith("pác") returns false for "hu" culture setting, which strictly speaking is incorrect. Cultures are hard...
