What π means
The tone is mostly cute and playful. People use it in posts about aquariums, diving and sea life, and also for food such as grilled octopus, sushi or takoyaki. Because an octopus has eight arms, the emoji is a common way to say you are multitasking or wish you had more hands. It can also describe someone clingy or very huggy, like an octopus holding on. Some people use it for mysterious or strange deep sea themes, like a kraken or sea monster. It is lighter and cuter than π¦, which feels more like seafood.
In texting
It often means busy with many things at once, as in having eight hands. It can also just be a cute random emoji in a playful message.
