What π± means
The tone is usually serious, proud or devotional. In India and among Hindus worldwide, π± represents the trishul of Lord Shiva, so it appears in greetings like 'Har Har Mahadev', on Mahashivratri and Shravan, and in bios of devotees. Outside that, it suggests the Greek god Poseidon or the Roman god Neptune, the ocean and naval or warrior themes. Some people also use it as a bold, powerful symbol in usernames. It is a trident, not a devil's pitchfork, though a few people use it that way.
In Indian chats
It almost always means Lord Shiva and his trishul. You will see it with ποΈ and π in festival wishes, temple visit posts and morning greetings.
