In recent versions of Unicode, the Romanian characters have been
disunified, so now there are different characters for S and T with
cedilla (U+015E, U+015E, U+0162, U+0163), and different with comma
below (U+0218, U+0219, U+021A, U+021B).

Two other well-known issues are italic Cyrillic letters, which have
quite different Serbian and Russian forms, and (not as important,
perhaps) acute accents in Hungarian, which are steeper than in most
other Latin-based scripts.
