I use the Lucian pronunciation, which is a historical reconstruction of Ancient Greek phonology from the time of the Roman Empire that preserves pitch accent and syllable quantity.

I do not write the smooth breathing mark in my orthography of Ancient Greek. This is to give it greater contrast against the almost-identical looking rough breathing mark. Removing the smooth breathing enables the rough breathing mark to become more discernible to all sighted humans - with varying degrees of vision impairments - and at lower screen resolutions and smaller font sizes, in all lighting conditions.
