varpi is a very old-school way of writing π (think 100 years ago), the modern letter is, of course, π. Also varsigma is the "final sigma" (ς), not the regular sigma (σ). vartheta also looks funky (θ normally).


I tend to write vartheta on paper as it can be done in a single stroke. I don’t write a final sigma on paper.
