What π· means
The tone depends a lot on who sends it. Between close friends or partners, π· is usually cute and teasing, for example after eating a big meal or as a nickname. It can also mean greedy, dirty or rude, and calling someone a pig can feel insulting, especially about weight. In cultures where pork is avoided, including many Muslim communities, comparing someone to a pig can feel more offensive. It also appears for Chinese New Year in the Year of the Pig and for pig-themed characters. The face looks soft and friendly, so it is often milder than the word "pig".
In a relationship or crush chat
Often a cute nickname or a joke about overeating together. It usually means affection, not an insult, when the rest of the message is warm.
Sarcastic use
Sent after rude, greedy or messy behavior, it means "you are being a pig". The meaning depends on tone and other emojis.
In texting
