What π means
The tone is joyful and festive, a bit bigger than π, which feels more like a party. People send π at midnight on New Year's Eve, on the Fourth of July in the US, on Bonfire Night in the UK and during Diwali in India, where fireworks and crackers are part of the festival. It can also be figurative. Someone might use it to describe a great first kiss, a big win or a moment when everything clicked. It rarely carries sarcasm, though it can be used playfully to hype up small wins.
