How the Transliterator Works
Overview
This project provides a standalone, browser-based virtual keyboard that transliterates modern Romanian characters to Old Romanian Cyrillic letters in real time. For the best experience, use the Romanian keyboard layout on your computer
Features
- Real-time transliteration while typing on a physical keyboard or clicking the on-screen keys.
- Support for Romanian diacritics (ă, â, î, ș, ț) and their corresponding Old Romanian Cyrillic characters.
- Alternative character selection via the Alt modifier (e.g., t → ѳ, u → ю).
- Acute (´) and grave (`) accent modifiers that apply combining marks to the supported vowels. Activate them via the on-screen keys or by holding the physical 3 (acute) or 4 (grave) keys.
Special Keys

- Delete Button (⌫): Click the “delete” button to clear all text from the text box.
