How to type Pi

Write \pi inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. It is part of core LaTeX math, so no extra package is required.

Greek letters work in math mode only: in running text write $\pi$, or load the textgreek package for upright text forms. With unicode-math under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, typing π in a formula gives the same symbol.

Example
$\pi \in \mathbb{R}$π∈R\pi \in \mathbb{R}π∈R
