Pi symbol meaning
Pi symbol sign π, pronounced in English as pie sign is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century.

Moreover, π is a transcendental number โ a number that is not the root of any nonzero polynomial having rational coefficients.
