What ππ» means
The gesture comes from Japan, where making a big circle with your arms over your head means correct or OK, the opposite of crossing your arms in an X. In chats it reads warm and a little playful, stronger and more physical than a simple π or π. People use it to accept plans, approve an idea or say they are fine. Some readers outside Japan see the raised arms as surprise or joy instead, so it can also mean yay or omg in a happy way. It is rarely negative.
In texting
Most often it is a friendly yes or got it. If someone replies with only π to your plan, they agree.
