So that's the same as PI (a small box). I know you can define some
physical constants as 1 by using the right units, but I'd never have
expected that you could define h-bar as PI ...

(no, no, I'm joking. But impressing that unicode even has
h-bar. Probably they also have everyone of the more "funny" operators
of theoretical physics too. Of course that does not help in writing
better physics programs, since some of the stuff need special parsing
too).
