Limba Românã

HTML

Romanian special characters:[ãÃ,âÂ,îÎ,ºª,þÞ] or (if your browser can't deal with ISO-8859-2 charset). See ISO's list of standards concerning character sets.

ISO-8859-2
0. If you can't see the ISO-8859-2 charset correctly, you could upgrade your browser to either Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x or Netscape 4.x.
1. Add this "meta" tag right after your oppening "html" tag in order to tell the viewer/browser to use the proper charset:

3. The first three characters are vowels.

Romanian Keyboard Control in Windows

Control Panel->Keyboard->
Language (95/98) ->Add...->Romanian->OK
Input Locales (NT)
If you also check the Enable indicator on taskbar box on the same Input Locales property page, you'll be able to easily switch between RO and EN by left-click on symbol on the taskbar and choosing the desired keyboard mapping. Or you could use the "Switch Languages" keyboard shortcuts of Left Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift on the same setting property page.
This setting gives me the capability to use those pesky Romanian characters in your favorite word processor (i.e. MS-Word, Lotus WordPro) with simple keystrokes on my std 101-AT US keyboard:
