Pythagoras was the 1st person who used the pi symbol first
Pi as a symbol was first used by the English mathematician William Jones. In 1706 he wrote that 3.14159=Euler, in 1737, used this symbol and it became the worlds standard symbol for pi after that.
Any mathematician will use the number pi (and its symbol) sooner or later - it is a number used extensively in many different areas of mathematics.
Archimedes first used the symbol PI because he was the first one to discover it so he wanted to investigate about it.
Actually, the number was discovered and then a symbol had to be assigned to it. Letters of the Greek alphabet are traditionally used for mathematical things, to the symbol for pi was naturally chosen from the Greek alphabet.
The first time the symbol Pi was first used for Pi was in ancient Greece in their numbers. The symbol "π" was number 80 in Greece.

Leonhard Euler used the symbol pi in 1737.
William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, first used the pi symbol in 1706.
The pi symbol was introduced in 1706 by William Jones. The usage of the symbol was popularized by Leonhard Euler. He adopted it in 1737.
The symbol for pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet. Many Greek letters are used in mathematics for various functions.

Whichever OpenOffice (also the newer LibreOffice) is used (Writer, Calc, Draw, etc) the Pi symbol is found in Insert > special Character. Choose the Pi symbol and close. Π
