Unusual yes, but logical in a way. A 'bot that attempted to OCR the
CAPTCHA would probably read the Pi symbol as "tt". So it is much more
difficult for a non human to read it. The obvious problem is that while
the average human can read the symbol, they can't type the darn thing.
I proclaim using non-ascii characters to be very smart, in a totally
clueless way!
