χαίρετε,
What accent does the tilde character, seen over the iota in the word below, indicate when using the Greek Word Study Tool?
ἀγνοεῖς
Is it a normal Greek accent or peculiar to the word study tool?
Thanks.

Re: Tilde accent over iota?
It's a version of the circumflex. Some fonts use the one that looks like a half circle, some use the one that looks like a tilde. It's like the lunate vs. regular sigma.
