What's wrong with just 2?, as Lucid suggests? ? is a symbol for efficiency in engineering.
Oh? Thing is, all of them are really taken. Lots have multiple meanings. So would another letter (greek or other) be better? The reason for 2*pi is that it is so often taken as (2*pi) that it would be much easier to not need to deal with the 2 factor. Just like we use omega to mean 2*pi*f.
