Look through the bird stamps again. There are glyphic variants there which would be inappropriate for a cent sign in any font I know of, as well as fallback to a *capital* letter 'C', instead of a *small* letter 'c' or abbreviations such as 'ct', 'cts', etc. The cent sign usage for the web, etc., smells like fallback to me, rather than usage of the *intended* character for the cedi. We have the originator of the thread, presumably a native Ghanaian familiar with the cedi currency in daily usage, proclaiming the distinction. That sounds to me like a set of arguments that can be made. Furthermore, from the point of view of the standard, addition of currency symbols is low cost. It doesn't cause architectural problems and has been done on a number of occasions based on evidence not significantly different from that provided here for the cedi sign. --Ken
