This sequence is wrong because you took UTF-8 encoded characters,
it should be
hu_name N[\311\351Ee][Vv]
But that's not the point, because in lexgrog.l, those accented
characters are seen as bytes by the compiler, and their value is of
course similar to their octal value. Anyway encoding these characters
would certainly be a good idea to avoid this encoding mismatch.
