For 98758465, I'm guessing some <i>enterprising</i> USPTO employee first substituted \u03b1 for alpha in the wordmark, saw the lower-case to upper-case conversion automatically performed for that updated wordmark, then looked searched for alternative upper-case
Unicode characters resembling the \u03b1, finding <b>\u2c6d</b>. Repeating that copy/paste operation to Trademark Search, the search
