  With the assumption pi is declared elsewhere (say, in std.math), 
what i wonder is the number for pi vs 2 letters. Unicode 03C0h, 
so now i have to convert that to decimal, code 960. Alt+960 = └

  That's not pi... Looking up the symbol by itself in the 
character map was annoying enough. No, this is not a good idea 
unless it's easily accessible, preferably with 2 or fewer 
keystrokes to symbolize pi.


  As a reminder most of us are programmers, not scientists or 
mathematicians. Having specialized symbols won't give us any 
benefit. It's not like we're filling out a complex formula with 
college level math for a thesis.
