    Subject: Greek Perispomeni - what's the correct symbol?

    Hello

    There appears to be some inconsistency about the symbol used for the Greek
    PERISPOMENI accent mark (U+1FC0).

    In some cases (eg Arial Unicode MS font as well as the FileFormatInfo and numerous
    other seemingly authoritative-looking websites) it appears as an inverted breve (c.f.
    U+0311).

    However in the unicode.org Code Charts and in some Adobe Pro fonts it is
    represented by a tilde (c.f. U+0303)

    Is there a definite right and wrong here or are both marks equally acceptable?

    Kevin
