If you squint hard enough, the capital letter pi (Π) looks like half a circle.

If you don't squint, it looks like a table. Maybe whoever chose it hadn't had lunch yet.

Pi is not half the circumference. It's how many times the diameter fits into the circumference.
It is half of the circumference, multiplied by the radius, of course.
