What π means
The tone is light and cute, rarely serious. It comes from the three wise monkeys idea of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and this is the see no evil one. Today it mostly means "I'm so embarrassed," "I didn't see that," or a shy reaction to a compliment. It is softer and more playful than π³ or π«£, and it often follows a confession or a silly mistake.
From a girl or a guy
It often means they feel shy or flustered, for example after a compliment. That can be a sign of flirting, but it is just as often simple embarrassment, so read the rest of the chat.
