What π means
π is a gentle, inward kind of sadness. It is softer than π’, which shows tears, and calmer than π, which looks more openly let down. People use it to apologize, to show they feel bad about something, or to share low feelings without making a big scene. Online it is also common in a joking, self-pitying way, such as "no one invited me π".
In texting
It often softens an apology or shows mild disappointment. In casual chats it can be half joking, like a pout.
From a girl or a guy

In a relationship or crush chat
After a disagreement it often means "I'm sorry" or "I feel bad." Sent with "miss you" it shows gentle longing.
