What π§π½ means
The tone is mostly playful and spooky rather than truly scary. People use π§ for Halloween costumes, Dracula, vampire shows and films such as Twilight, and for anything to do with blood or fangs. A common joke is calling yourself a vampire for staying up all night, sleeping through the day or being very pale. It also appears in the phrase "energy vampire" for someone who drains your energy, which is a mild criticism. Compared with π§ or π it feels more stylish and dramatic. It has no widely known sexual or hidden slang meaning.
