Used literally, π is serious. It can mean someone was taken to hospital, there was an accident, or a person is unwell. Read the words around it carefully before you reply. Used playfully, it is a common exaggeration. "Someone call an ambulance π" under a selfie means the person looks very attractive. After a joke or roast, it means the reaction was so strong you are "dead" or "hurt." It is stronger and more medical than π¨, which is a general alert, and it works like π in funny replies.
If it comes with words like "accident" or "hospital," treat it as real news and ask if they are okay. With laughing emojis or a joke, it is just exaggeration.
In comments under a photo, π usually means "you look too good" or "this is so hot someone call an ambulance." Under a funny video, it means the clip was hilarious.
Under your photo, π is a compliment that can be flirty, but it is often just friendly hype. In a normal chat, it is not a romantic signal and usually means something hurt or was too funny.
People send π after a harsh roast or bad news to say "that hurt" or "I need medical help after that," in a joking way.

that roast was brutal ππ

It can be. Under a selfie, π usually means the person looks so good it is "an emergency," which is a playful compliment, but it is often friendly rather than romantic.
In a comment, it usually means "call an ambulance" in a joking way, because the post is very attractive, very funny or very savage.
If it is about a real emergency, ask if they are safe and whether they need anything. If it is a joke or compliment, a laugh or a simple thank you is enough.
