* ACUTE

At
http://globis.geog.uu.nl/Users/Perk/MinWat/Analysis.asp?Country=Portugal&Brand=Agua%20Castello
you can see a fac-simile of a bottle label of �gua Castello, a
portuguese mineral drink water brand. Please note the glyph variant for
U+0301 (acute accent mark), shaped as an apostrophe and placed before
the letter -- a residue from 19th cent. poor typography fall back.

* TILDE

At < http://www.egeac.pt/cinemasaojorge/ > you can (hardely) see the
side entrance of the S�o Jorge movie theatre, in Lisbon, with a glyph
variant for U+0303 (tilde), the "wave" going down and up instead of the
other way around.

Another instance of this variant can be found in the font type used for
cover titles in the portuguese right-wing tabloid _O Diabo_, of which
though I could not find any example on line.

This is not an unusual variant, though seldom seen in typeset form, it's
mostely a handwriting variant.
