The tone is mostly cute and teasing. People send π½ after a big meal ("I ate like a pig"), to joke that a friend is greedy, or to show a laugh so hard they snorted. Some people also use it as a cute nickname for a partner or themselves. It can become rude when used to call someone fat or dirty, so the sender and context matter. Compared with π·, which is the full pig face, π½ feels more focused on the nose, sniffing and snorting. It is not a widely used slang symbol beyond these meanings.
Usually it means "I ate too much" or "I laughed so hard I snorted". Between friends it is a light joke.
Couples sometimes use it as a cute pet name or a teasing "you little piggy". It is affectionate when the rest of the chat is friendly.
Sent alone in reply to something greedy or messy, it can mean "you are acting like a pig". Read the earlier messages to tell if it is teasing or a real insult.
