Published in Typing Symbols 1 min read

The question likely refers to how to type the π (pi) symbol, not finding a physical "key" for it. Here's how to type the pi symbol on computers:

Typing Pi (π) on Windows

One method is:

  • Press and hold the ALT key.
  • Type the numbers 227 on the numeric keypad (make sure Num Lock is on).
  • Release the ALT key. The π symbol should appear.

Typing Pi (π) on Mac

  • The source material doesn't explicitly provide a method for MacOS. However, typically special characters can be found using the character viewer which can be accessed through the "Edit" menu in many applications or using a keyboard shortcut like Command + Control + Space. You can then search for "pi" in the character viewer.
