[Biblical-languages] Unicode "preferred character" note?

I've received some comments from someone working in polytonic Greek font
design re. a particular Unicode code point. In reference to U+0387, ano
teleia, the Unicode charts (v. 4) say that "00B7 is the preferred
character." I've thought that this meant that 00B7 was to be used *instead
of* 0387, so I did not include a glyph at 0387 in the Unicode version of my
Galilee font (though I did at 00B7). My correspondent suggests that this
means only that 0387 is to *look like* 00B7, and that I should include a
matching glyph at both code points. Can anyone help me sort this out?
Thanks.
