Check this with a Romanian source if you can, but I have the
impression that t-with-cedilla, while originally intended by Unicode
for use in Romania, is deprecated there in favour of t-with-comma, so
it may better be spelled ‘Law-Racoviță’.

(There is an s-with-cedilla which is used for Turkish, and I believe
it was supposed to be used for Romanian’s s-with-comma as well, the
shape of the diacritic being considered a font issue, but Romania
succeeded in getting separate s-with-comma and t-with-comma added to
Unicode later. Meaning that t-with-cedilla is now orphaned as I
believe that no languages use that letter.)

Cheers,
Philip
