The cedi sign should be of the size of the dollar sign ($) or the euro sign (EUR). The site you provided is using the cent sign. The Ghana web site uses a better version of the cent sign for the cedi. See http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/economy/market.prices.php.
We are developing a keyboard for Ghanaian languages and with it we are considering font issues. We think that it would be a good idea to have the currency of the country on the keyboard. Using the cent sign is something Ghanaians have been doing just because it is close to the cedi sign.

We would like
to include the Ghanaian currency sign on the keyboard.
> The currency in Ghana is called cedi and it is written like
the cent sign
(¢) except that the cedi sign is bigger, sort of the capital form of the
cent sign.
It would help if you could provide examples of the difference
in size being
systematically used to distinguish between the cedi and the cent.
I guess you have to show that this site has it wrong:

not, how would
one go about getting a sign like that into Unicode?
