What π means
π is more literal than the cute π· face. People use it for farms, pork dishes such as lechon in the Philippines, and jokes about eating too much. Calling someone a pig is a common insult for being greedy, dirty or disrespectful, and "pig" is also old slang for the police, so tone matters. Some people use π to flag that a dish contains pork, which is useful for friends who avoid pork for religious or dietary reasons. It is stronger as an insult than π·, which tends to stay playful.
In texting
Often a self-joke about overeating, or a note that a dish has pork in it.
Sarcastic use
Sent about a person, it can mean they are greedy, gross or rude. Read the words around it to judge how serious it is.
In Indian chats
It may appear as a mild jab at a messy friend or in food chats. Some users avoid pork for religious reasons, so it can carry a warning about pork content.
