Could you try with the two attached latex files?
\documentclass[polutonikogreek,british]{article}

\inputencoding{latin9}This prints a tilde before the letter:

\inputencoding{latin9}This only works in polutonik (classic) Greek but drops
the tilde in modern Greek:
\inputencoding{iso-8859-7}\foreignlanguage{polutonikogreek}{~h, ~h.}
\inputencoding{latin9}This only works in monotonik (modern) Greek:
\inputencoding{iso-8859-7}\foreignlanguage{polutonikogreek}{\~{h}.}
\inputencoding{latin9}This works in both, polutonik and monotonik (modern)
