$begingroup$
The following line produces an output with the text "Pi" displayed instead of the symbol for pi.
All help with an alternative or correction of this would be much appreciated, thank you.

TryFractionBox[π, 2] // MakeExpression // ReleaseHold? However, what are you trying to achieve with these expressions? Just evaluatingπ/2would achieve the same result.

People here generally like users to post code as Mathematica code instead of just images or TeX, so they can copy-paste it. It makes it convenient for them and more likely you will get someone to help you. You may find this meta Q&A helpful

Why are you inputting a FractionBox? There should not be any need to do so. However, if you must do this, you should generate the boxes using MakeBoxes instead:
MakeBoxes[π/2]
FractionBox["π", "2"]

If you examine Carl Woll's output, you might want to put quotes around the "2".
