What ππ» means
The tone is negative and can feel blunt. A single π is clearer and colder than a sad or annoyed face such as π or π, because it judges the thing directly. Between friends it is often light, like booing a bad movie, a late bus or a lost cricket match. As a reaction to someone's message or idea, it can feel dismissive, so many people avoid it in serious chats. It is also used in polls and reviews, where π means yes or good and π means no or bad. Repeated πππ makes the dislike stronger and usually more dramatic or joking.
