- Copy the text and paste it anywhere, download it as a .txt file, or search Google for it directly.
About the Romanian keyboard
Romanian adds five letters to the Latin alphabet: ă, â, î, ș and ț. Writing without diacritics is common online but can change meaning (peste = over, pește = fish), so typing them properly matters.
- Romanian (Standard): The Romanian Standard layout (SR 13392): ă î â right of P, ș ț right of L, with the correct comma-below ș and ț.
- Accent shortcuts: Keep your normal keyboard and add accents with a symbol after the letter: e' → é, n~ → ñ, u" → ü. See the cheat sheet below.
Romanian letters and where to find them
All 5 Romanian characters on the main layout, with the key that types them and how to type them phonetically. “Shift+” means hold Shift (or press the on-screen ⇧ key first).
| Letter | Unicode name | Key (Romanian (Standard)) | Accent shortcuts |
|---|---|---|---|
| â | a with circumflex | \ | a^ |
| î | i with circumflex | ] | i^ |
| ă | a with breve | [ | a( |
| ș | s with comma below | ; | s; |
| ț | t with comma below | ' | t; |
Tips for typing Romanian
- Use comma-below ș ț, as required by the Romanian Academy.
- România and român are spelled with â.
- Quotes: „ghilimele” open low and close high.
- Programmer layout users can use the Accent shortcuts tab instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I type ș and ț?
On the Romanian Standard layout they are right of L. With Accent shortcuts type s; → ș and t; → ț. Capitals: S; → Ș, T; → Ț.
What is the difference between ș and ş?
Correct Romanian uses ș and ț with a comma below. The cedilla forms ş and ţ come from old encodings and are Turkish-style; this keyboard always types the correct comma-below letters.
When do I use â and when î?
Both sound the same. î is written at the start and end of words (început, a urî), â in the middle (când, România).
How do I type ă?
Right of P on the standard layout, or a( with Accent shortcuts.
