Why do you want to add a accent in second A instead of a straight A?
In uppercase words we never use the tonos sign in the middle of the word (in modern Greek mono-tonic system). We use the tonos sign only in the first letter if this is a vowel and use a tonos in accent.

Like Anagki, the tonos sign is on the second A.
In uppercase is written as: ΑΝΑΓΚΗ (without any tonos)
In lowercase is written as: Ανάγκη (tonos in second lowercase A)

Another example, is the word άλλος (other)
Uppercase: ΆΛΛΟΣ (tonos in first uppercase A) and άλλος in lowercase.

The poly-tonic system and ancient Greek the things is a little confusing... As mentioned already, we have dasia (δασεία) oksia (οξεία) perispomeni (περισπωμένη) and psili (ψηλή).

Like my name:
In modern Greek is: Αντώνης - ΑΝΤΩΝΗΣ.
In polytonic is: Ἁντῶνης - ἉΝΤΩΝΗΣ.

If you want a program to write in greek polytonic system and past it in a css code, then you can use this tool:

You must use a greek unicode character set for your system keyboard, I think.
