What is the Unicode code point for the product symbol?

The product symbol (∏) is U+220F, N-ARY PRODUCT, in the Unicode Mathematical Operators block, decimal 8719.

Is the product symbol the same as the Greek letter pi?

They look similar but are different characters. Capital pi (Π, U+03A0) is a Greek letter used in words and Greek text. The product symbol (∏, U+220F) is a separate math operator meant for products with limits, and most fonts render it wider and taller than the plain Greek letter.

What is the keyboard shortcut for the product symbol?

There is no classic Alt code. On Windows, type 220F in Word or Outlook then press Alt+X. On Mac, open Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search "product" or "n-ary". On Linux, press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 220f, then press Enter or Space.

How do I insert the product symbol in HTML?

Use the named entity ∏ or the numeric entities ∏ (decimal) and ∏ (hex). All three render the same character in every modern browser.

What is the LaTeX command for a product?

Use \prod in math mode. Add limits with subscript and superscript, for example \prod_{i=1}^{n} x_i for a product of x_i from i=1 to n. It ships with base LaTeX, no extra package needed.

How do I add limits to the product symbol outside LaTeX?

Plain Unicode text has no native way to attach limits above and below the symbol the way LaTeX does. In word processors, use the equation editor; in plain text or HTML, write the limits inline next to the symbol, like ∏ (i=1 to n).

Product symbol vs. Greek capital pi

The product symbol ∏ (U+220F) is a dedicated math operator, distinct from the Greek capital letter pi Π (U+03A0) used to spell Greek words. They look alike, but most fonts draw the math operator wider and taller so it reads clearly with limits above and below it.
