###Tips###
use their core-latin siblings to compare:
șsȘSțtȚTăaĂAîiÎIâaÂA„”

on Google Fonts you can easily change the text sample; don't forget to specify your charset, lating-extended
-
however, on Typekit, special characters are auto-transformed into their base latin variants; the only way to test glyphs is on each font's page "Type Tester" tab
