In the Bureau of American Ethnology reports, early Americanist characters are
used, and they are used with casing, including the C with stroke. For example,
in the attached file, from page 357 of the 3rd annual report of the BAE (1884),
from the Article "Omaha Sociology" by Rev. J. Owen Dorsey (later reprinted as
as Omaha Sociology in 1970), you can clearly see the use of the small letter
c with slash (circled in blue) and the large letter c with slash (circled in
red). Hence, for proper casing, the cent sign and c with slash can't be unified.
