| Java, C# | \uD835\uDE99 |
| Rust, Swift | \u{1D699} |
| Go, C, C++ | \U0001D699 |
| URL (percent-encoded) | %F0%9D%9A%99 |
JavaScript and JSON strings store text as UTF-16, so this character takes two code units (a surrogate pair) and "π".length is 2. Python 3 strings count code points, so its length there is 1.
