Gnus (Emacs mail reader) on Windows shows the Greek letter Pi. Which
is declared in Ada.Numerics in Ada 2005, with the normal numerical
value:

package Ada.Numerics is
   pragma Pure;

   Argument_Error : exception;

   Pi : constant :=
          3.14159_26535_89793_23846_26433_83279_50288_41971_69399_37511;

   ["03C0"] : constant := Pi;
   --  This is the greek letter Pi (for Ada 2005 AI-388).
