"why i dont get the symbol of pi?"

Why do you expect that entering a TeX command in the MATLAB command prompt should return a "symbol of pi" ?

Did MATLAB turn into a TeX compiler overnight?

Why did you expect it to? This isn't LaTeX.

If you want the pi symbol in a character vector that is possible:

char(960)

ans = 'π'

Or you can use a text object, which allows you to use LaTeX syntax:

text(0.5,0.5,'\pi')
