Îdinism

In the context of Romanian orthography, the name of a movement to remove the letter ⟨â⟩ from Romanian orthography either:
1. Completely, without exception; or
2. Sparing the word 'român' and its derivatives; e.g. 'România', 'românesc', or 'românism'.

The word is derived from the Romanian name of the letter ⟨î⟩, 'î din i' ('î from i') combined with the suffix -ism.
Mihaela and Robert are proponents of Îdinism; they support the complete removal of the letter 'â' from the Romanian alphabet in favour of the letter 'î'.
