Doesn't the accent in question look like the old acute?  In which case a Greek

Ancient Greek typesetting will always use the system of accents devised by the
Alexandrinian grammarians, because not to do so would cripple the ability of
new scholars to deal with older editions texts, as well as losing information
of importance to linguists.
