Maybe it's changed now, but the "ฯ€" in the title is unicode U+03C0 [0], which is a lowercase pi. In the font Verdana (the one that I see in the title, but not this comment as I type it[1]), U+03C0 looks like a small capital pi and looks a bit like "n").[2]

[1] EDIT: once the comment was submitted, the font changed to Verdana.

Ah. Youโ€™re right. I didnโ€™t even think to check the actual codepoint. It still looks the same as it did when I commented hours ago, so it must just be my font then.
there are also script-style 'mathematical pi symbol' codepoints ฯ€ ๐œ‹ ๐›‘ ๐… ๐žน โ„ผ
