Romanian Hex Escape Codes?

Question

I am translating stuff from an application to Romanian (already did German), and I need hex escape codes for ă â ș ț î.

Like the German "ü" is \x81, are there hex escape codes for those Romanian characters?

I couldn't find any after 30 minutes of research.

Those code-page dependent characters are old style. Try to use the [unicode characters](https://www.fileformat.info/info/charset/UTF-8/list.htm). — Weather Vane, Aug 28 '22 at 18:38
The values depend on the encoding you use. Which encoding do you use? — the busybee, Aug 28 '22 at 19:03
30 minutes of research on such a complex topic sounds not enough. ;-) You could at least write a simple experimental program to try _all possible values_ to see if any of them renders characters you want. — the busybee, Aug 28 '22 at 19:05

Code page 850 has "ü" as \x81. That code page does not support ă ș ț î.

Instead use a more modern and comprehensive encoding like Unicode. See also Romanian_alphabet.

ISO/IEC 8859 might work for OP, yet that is not the best way going forward.

You're probably best off using unicode escapes

\u00fc for "ü"

\u0103 for "ă"

\u00e2 for "â"

\u00ee for "î"

\u0163 for "ţ"
