When I’am trying to copy a text from a PDF-file on macOS containing the character ἀ (ancient Greek alpha with spiritus lenis), all characters are copied without any problem, but all ἀ aren’t copied.

My guess is they were added as graphic elements, not real characters, probably due to a font encoding issue.

Can you share with us a sample file that demonstrates this issue?

Thank you for your answer. In the sample file, you can copy the text, but the first character (ἀ) will not be copied.
