Why a multi-glyph symbol 2π when a single-glyph symbol 2π would be better. By creating a new symbol by joining the bottom-right of the 2 to the topleft of the π

Why a multi-glyph symbol 2π when a single-glyph symbol 2π would be better. By creating a new symbol by joining the bottom-right of the 2 to the topleft of the π, we can make a new one-glyph symbol, perhaps put it next to € in Unicode.
And instead of saying two words "Two Pi", we could say it as one word "Twopi", with stress on the first syllable, much like the word "teenager" used to be spoken and written as two words a century ago.
- Groxx 16y agoI like the idea of "Twopi". Looks like it could be pronounced like "Toupee". (yes, it'd be a mispronunciation, but people do that) Do you also favor the almighty interrobang‽

- eru 16y agoWe pronounce the constant as pee in German anyway. (No confusion with bodily fluids there.) Or we might as well go with dvapee (Russian), or tsveypee (German (zweipi, written so that you can pronounce it the English way and it'll come out ok)). We can go for pronouncing the thingy pipi. (Though would lead to confusion with bodily fluids in German.)
- amalcon 16y agoYou know, I really don't care that much about the 2pi thing, but this is just cool enough that I might be able to get behind it.
