I sustain Mihai Capotă opinion, please leave the above mentioned characters in their individual behaviour, do not mix the appearance (glyphs).

Doing so may cause some problems:
- confusion between users who know which is which
- may lead to problems if a text will use Turkish language; although rare as expectation, this *is* a situation to consider; the official Romanian keyboard layout standard has explicit support for minority languages (Turkish included) by the use of dead keys; the purpose is the ability to insert text in minority languages (Turkish involved in this discussion), like names of persons, places or streets in some official Romanian documents
- will discourage the use of the correct characters from peoples who will say "hey, my old legacy characters are looking fine anyway, why should I bother with the correct ones ?"; we need to encourage the *use* of the correct characters, not the correct looking of characters

Please note that the Romanian language is Latin based and that all glyphs should resemble the Unicode abstract description of characters (1:1 correspondence).
