There are several systems of romanization of the Georgian alphabet. One is the Georgian national system of romanization and another is ISO 9984. Neither system is used for writing Georgian, but there is another simple, unofficial system which does not use apostrophes or diacritics like those, but instead only plain ASCII (English) letters, though upper and lower case may represent separate sounds unlike in English.
Unofficial system of romanizaton
Despite its popularity this system sometimes leads to ambiguity. The system is mostly used in social networks, forums, chat rooms etc. The system is greatly influenced by the common case-sensitive Georgian alphabet keyboard layout (see Georgian keyboard) that ties each key to each letter in the alphabet (seven of them: T, W, R, S, J, Z, C with the help of the shift key to make another letter).
