What ππ» means
The person frowning shows low, gloomy feelings rather than anger. Think of it as "I'm not happy about this" or "that made me sad." It is a bit stronger than π and closer to π, but showing a whole person can make it feel like you are describing your own state, like sitting there feeling down. People often mix it up with π, the person pouting, which leans more toward sulking or being annoyed. The tone is usually sincere, though it can be used playfully for small letdowns, such as plans being cancelled or food running out. The gender and skin tone versions do not change the meaning.
