Thanks, Doitsu. When I initially posted I did not know where to find the precomposed characters. Also, it seems to me that the second Alpha in your post is not the same as what appears in the source text. I've attached a screenshot of the version I'm using now, which is very similar to the source text. I still have a very long way to go in the book, and may change my mind later.
PS I've just looked at the Lexilogos site, and don't see an Alpha the same as the second Alpha in my thumbnail. Perhaps the Oxford Classics Edition is wrong; it definitely has the second Alpha looking like the one in the thumbnail. Now I'm even more confused than I was when I started. It's ancient Greek; perhaps I'll follow Harry's advice.
