Description:
------------
There is a problem with the returned days for strftime when setting the locale to ro_RO,

The affected day is "Tuesday" (marți), which is displayed as "t with cedilla bellow" (Unicode 0163). 

This is wrong, according to official Romanian National Standards SR 13411:1999
and SR 13392:2004 and International Standard ISO/IEC 8859-16 (Latin 10).

The correct character for the Romanian (ro_RO) locale is: 
- "t with comma below" (Unicode 021B) 

Test script:
---------------
<?php

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'ro_RO.UTF8');

$last_tuesday = strtotime("last Tuesday");
echo strftime( "<strong>%A</strong>, %d.%m.%Y", $last_tuesday ); 

?>


Expected result:
----------------
marți, 04.02.2014

Actual result:
--------------
marţi, 04.02.2014

This is a issue of the upstream glibc library. The locale definition needs to be corrected there.
A bug to correct this issue has been filed with Sourceware.org (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18911).
