Romanian Keyboard Online

The layout at a glance

This Romanian virtual keyboard mirrors the QWERTY layout of a physical Romanian keyboard. Its 47 character keys reach the 31 letters of the Latin script (U+0041–U+005A, U+0061–U+007A, U+00C0–U+024F) straight from the browser, with no software to install and no system setting to change.

The layout reaches 5 characters that an ordinary Latin keyboard does not carry: â î ă ș ț.

How to type in Romanian

  1. Click the on-screen keys or type on your physical keyboard — both write into the same text area.
  2. Shift shows the second layer of every key: capitals and the characters printed at the top right.
  3. The Copy button puts the whole text on the clipboard, ready to paste into an email, a document or a form.
  4. The Google, YouTube and ChatGPT buttons run a search with the text you typed, without retyping it.

Key reference table

Each row is one physical key: the base character, the one produced with Shift, then the one produced with AltGr.
