    Robert> Very well spotted.  Actually, the latter is the right one—that is:
                                              ^^^^^^
    Robert> Greek Tonos, U+0384—while the former, Greek Oxia (U+1FFD) belongs to
    Robert> the group that was deprecated.  So it is the other way round: keep the
    Robert> former, and make the latter go.
            ^^^^^^

Now Iʼm confused :-)

Currently greek.el input methods insert \u1ffd, rather than
\u0384. Which one do you want?

Robert
