Pi is usually used as 3.14 in math because it originally goes on to infinity. Therefore, using two significant digits (the most popular used significant digit out there), Pi is abreviated to 3.14.
The original Pi goes on forever, but is something like this:

The Upside down T symbol indicates perpendicular lines.
'pi' looks like a set of wobbly goalposts (soccer). It is the lower case letter 'p' from the Classical Greek Alphabet.
It looks like a set of wobbly goalposts (Association football/soccer). It is the lower case letter ' p ' from the Classical Greek Alphabet.
'pi' is the lower case letter 'p' from the Classical Greek Alphabet. It refers to 'proportion, because for all circles, however, large of small , the constant of proportion (p/pi) between the circumference and the diameter is 3.141592.... , which is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/fraction. Casually, the decimals recur to infinity and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. Algebraically, Circumference is directly proportional to diameter. Reduced to letters C is directly proportional to d. This is then equated with a constant(k) C = k*d k = C/d From ancient times the 'k' was substituted by 'pi/p' as it refers to 'proportion'. Hence we have pi = C/d or C = pi*d 'd' being the length of two(2) radii is substitutied again as C = 2pir In school/college, when learning about circle geometry, you will probably be given pi = 3.14, 3.1416 or 22/7 . These figures are only APPROXIMATIONS, but are given for ease of learning.
The pi symbol is actually a letter of the greek alphabet. Many math symbols are letters of the greek alphabet.

it is a number 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288... it's just a lot of numbers after that
A capital A is usually used as a symbol for area in math.
pi is not an abbreviation. It is a letter of the Greek alphabet symbol that symbolises one particular ratio.
Find the exact value of the mathematical symbol pi.
NO It is NOT a variable. It is a 'CONSTANT of proportion'. pi = 3.141592.... is a irrational number, which means the decimals recur to infinity and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. Supa Dupa computers have calculated 'pi' to 50 billion places and still going. You are erroneously thinking 'pi' is a variable because you are given pi = 3.14 , 3.1416 , or 22/7 These numbers are only Approximations, and given for ease of learning.
