fwiw, though not germaine to this list, U+0387 normalises to U+00B7 in 
NFC (Unicode normalisation form C).  So it's unlikely to be found in a 
document that's normalised unless the author used an escape - in which 
case they'll get the validator message:
"Text run is not in Unicode Normalization Form C."

The Unicode Standard description for U+0387 says
[
• functions in Greek like a semicolon
• 00B7 is the preferred character
≡ 00B7 middle dot
]
