I consider the distinction between these two glyphs completely arbitrary. At normal size, the difference between a concave and a convex top is not really visible. If you look at https://w3c.github.io/smufl/latest/tables/articulation.html you can see that both glyph shapes in question are defined as variants of 'staccatissimo' – for spiccato, there doesn't exist a symbol. And rightly so: I've never seen a symbol for spiccato except an ordinary staccato point with the word 'spicc.' (if at all). Werner
