What π½ means
The tone is mostly neutral or proud. Travelers use it in captions when visiting New York, and people who live there use it to tag their city, often next to π for "the Big Apple" or π for the skyline. It also appears on US holidays such as the Fourth of July with πΊπΈ and π. Because the real statue is a famous symbol of freedom and of welcome to immigrants, some people use it in posts about moving to the US, visas or new beginnings. In jokes, it can stand for "freedom" in a casual sense, such as being free from school or a job.
