That says to me that your locale is still not set correctly.

The ls on it's own could be due to a non-compatible terminal emulator, but the fact that 'od' is showing two bytes rather than trying to display a character (however messed up the output may be) implies the characters are simply not valid in the locale you have set.

It would be useful to have the exact numbers from the 'od' (a test filename with more than 2 Hungarian characters would be useful) and an approximate description (or screenshot) on how they should look.
