Probably a copy&paste from a Unicode table of math fraktur code points.
Emacs identifies the first of the above as
position: 488 of 866 (56%), restriction: <195-867>, column: 7
character: π (displayed as π) (codepoint 120198, #o352606, #x1d586)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x1D586
script: mathematical
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, L:Left-to-right (strong)
to input: type "C-x 8 RET 1d586" or "C-x 8 RET MATHEMATICAL BOLD
FRAKTUR SMALL A"
buffer code: #xF0 #x9D #x96 #x86
file code: #xF0 #x9D #x96 #x86 (encoded by coding system
utf-8-emacs-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
xft:-PfEd-Unifont Upper-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-d-0-iso10646-1
(#x156D)
Character code properties:
name: MATHEMATICAL BOLD FRAKTUR SMALL A
general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
decomposition: (font 97) (font 'a')

Unicode has a lot of codepoints. I mean, there are even things like
π½
which you need to display in a large font to even have a chance at
recognizing. In my default font size it looks like some sort of camel
or space invaders attacker.
