For some reason I don't have the Romanian
keyboard in my installation, so I can only help
you with a workaround: use one of the Turkish
keyboard layouts (T-QWERTY has it to the right of
"L").
I gather you have discovered the Character
Palette, but are using Word with its half-baked
Unicode support that does not allow entering
Unicode characters from the palette and also has
problems with other Unicode-aware font utilities.
I had a similar problem yesterday when I needed
some CE characters that were not accessible
through the Czech, Hungarian, Croatian or Slovak
keyboards - I ended up producing them with
PopChar in Word 5.1 under Classic, saving each of
them in a small separate file and importing the
file into Word X (copy-paste did not work) - very
far removed from speed typing.
The US Extended keyboard might also have <s,>,
but it does not work with Word. You could try a
"Norwegian extended" keyboard made by a linguist
at Trondheim University - it is defined as
"Latin", not "Unicode" and thus works with Word
X: <http://jardar.nvg.org/mac/>.
