''This article is less complete in its discussion of ISO character sets than the corresponding [[Help:Turkish characters]]. If anyone has sufficient knowledge, it would be great to bring it up to that standard.''

The [[w:Romanian alphabet|Romanian alphabet]] contains six letters not present in ISO-8859-1 and that will therefore present problems for use on old mediawiki wikis (all MediaWiki version 1.5 wikis including all wikimedia wikis are [[w:UTF-8|UTF-8]]). nor are four of them found in most readily available fonts, including those commonly used in Romania : upper- and lowercase "A" with breve, upper- and lowercase "S" with comma, and upper- and lowercase "T" with comma. These last used to be unified with and are still often substituted by the (slightly) more tractable upper- and lowercase "S" with cedilla and upper- and lowercase "T" with cedilla.

When authoring HTML or wikitext that uses the more unusual Romanian characters, the following information may be useful:

<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<th>Upper case</th>
<th>Lower case</th>
<th>Upper case encoding</th>
<th>Lower case encoding</th>
<th>Notes</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ă</td>
<td>ă</td>
<td>&#x102;</td>
<td>&#x103;</td>
<td>Considered correct</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Â</td>
<td>â</td>
<td>&Acirc;</td>
<td>&acirc;</td>
<td>This has a standard HTML entity, so should present no problem.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Î</td>
<td>î</td>
<td>&Icirc;</td>
<td>&icirc;</td>
<td>This has a standard HTML entity, so should present no problem.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ș</td>
<td>ș</td>
<td>&#x218;</td>
<td>&#x219;</td>
<td>"s" with comma, considered less correct and not widely supported</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ş</td>
<td>ş</td>
<td>&#x15E;</td>
<td>&#x15F;</td>
<td>"s" with cedilla, considered more correct</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ț</td>
<td>ț</td>
<td>&#x21A;</td>
<td>&#x21B;</td>
<td>"t" with comma, considered less correct and not widely supported</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ţ</td>
<td>ţ</td>
<td>&#x162;</td>
<td>&#x163;</td>
<td>"t" with cedilla, considered more correct</td>
</tr>
</table>

The following string may be useful to keep open in an editing Window to cut and paste when working on Romanian-language content:

*Ă Â Î Ş Ţ ă â î ş ţ

There is extensive relevant discussion at [[:ro:Discuţie Wikipedia:Limba română conţine diacritice]]; the discussion is in a mixture of [[w:English language|English]] and [[ro:Limba română|Romanian]].
