But if I'm not mistaken, Unicode already has a separate character for n-ary products and summation (U+220F, U+2211), distinct from the capital Greek letters *and* the variant forms in the mathematical alphanumeric block. If capital pi is the way to go, why not use U+1D6F1 MATHEMATICAL ITALIC CAPITAL PI or U+1D72B MATHEMATICAL BOLD ITALIC CAPITAL PI, for instance?
