If I look on the proposal of ISO8859-16 (latin10) charset or in the
unicode fonts (latin extended-B) the under-diacritic is looking close
enough to a comma. It is a bit shorter and wider than a regular comma.
If I check some Romanian text (printed with lead letters, not using
computer fonts) then it is really a comma, maybe a bit shorter,
as a comma which was reduced by an operation of subscriptise.
The cyrillic `low tic' like for the Russian letter `ts', for me
it is looking as a very litlle `j' without the dot which is glued
in the right-down corner of the letter.
Romanian T, t, S and s with a comma below should be constructed with
a comma (regular one, or not). And it should not be connected the comma
below with the letter, as it is with the cedilla or with the Polish
accent \k.

I tried omega, but even the regular accents doesn't work (cedilla, for
instance). Of course it is working with \c{s} but not with \accent"0327s
or with \symbol{"015F}, as the \accent"0326s and \symbol{"0219} are not
working. I even don't get an empty space or a warning.
See at http://charts.unicode.org/ select the `Latin Extended-B'
and look at page 7 of 8, second column down: `Additions for Romanian':
0218 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH COMMA BELOW = 0053 S 0326 ,
0219 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH COMMA BELOW = 0073 s 0326 ,
021A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW = 0054 T 0326 ,
021B LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW = 0074 t 0326 ,
I can attach the file or a picture with the fonts, but I think the
server will not support it.
Thank you,
Ionel
