What π₯ means
π₯ is one of the most positive hype emojis. Calling a song, outfit or photo π₯ means it is excellent. It is stronger than π and close to π― in energy. On a selfie it often means the person looks hot or attractive, which can be flirty depending on who sends it. It also marks streaks, like a run of wins or daily activity, and can describe spicy food or very hot weather. Several π₯ in a row turn up the praise. Used alone after a bold statement, it can mean "savage" or a strong take.
