I think reading <https://www.unicode.org/faq/greek.html> helps
some. My understanding of the situation is that the basic Greek block
should be used, rather than the extended Greek block, for the LETTER +
OXIA/TONOS combinations (and the extended block versions all decompose
to characters in the basic block + a combining mark).
To me that implies that the Greek input methods should use GREEK TONOS
(\u384) consistently rather then GREEK OXIA (\u1ffd), but I couldn't
see any explicit mention of that, and at least in my font they're
visually distinct.
Thereʼs also <http://www.opoudjis.net/unicode/unicode.html>, but
thatʼs much longer, so I only read the bit about oxia vs tonos, and it
also has nothing to say on which to use when inserting only the
accenting character itself.
