Due to formerly incomplete character encodings and poorly implemented legacy software, some confusion appears to persist about S and T with cedilla vs. comma diacritics. Here are the correct encodings and glyph shapes:
| Ş | U+015E | cedilla | Used in Turkish and other Turkic languages. Never in Romanian! |
|---|---|---|---|
| ş | U+015F | ||
| Ţ | U+0162 | Used in Gagauz (a minority language of, interestingly, Moldova.) Never in Romanian! | |
| ţ | U+0163 | ||
| Ș | U+0218 | comma | Used in Romanian (incl. “Moldovan”) |
| ș | U+0219 | ||
| Ț | U+021A | Used in Romanian (incl. “Moldovan”) | |
| ț | U+021B |
