Verdana (the default font of a lot of sites for Windows users) has a symbol that looks like an *n* for pi:

In Arial, another common font for windows, this looks as expected:

Is there any reason why the Verdana font is done differently to most?

To clarify which character I'm talking about, it is `U+03C0 π GREEK SMALL LETTER PI (HTML &#960; · &pi;)`, see [Wikipedia section on Pi Character Encodings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(letter)#Character_Encodings)
