π usually means smelling something, good or bad, or calling someone nosy for poking into other people's business. It can also hint that something seems suspicious, as in "this smells fishy." The Apple artwork shows a single yellow nose seen from the front, with a long bridge and a rounded tip.

The tone of π depends on what comes with it. With food or perfume it is positive and means something smells great. With π€’ or π© it means a bad smell. Sent alone after a personal question, it is a playful way to say "you are being nosy." People also use it to say they can sense something is off, like a lie or a secret. It is a mild, light emoji and rarely serious. With βοΈ it is sometimes read as a reference to drug use, so be careful with that pairing.
Most often it reacts to a smell, like cooking, rain or someone's cologne. After a question about your private life, it usually means the sender thinks the person asking is being nosy.

It usually means the person thinks you are being nosy. It is mostly playful, not rude, and often means they would rather not share.
Not usually. It is light teasing in most chats, though calling someone nosy can sting if you do not know them well.
If it was about you being nosy, a laugh like π or "okay okay, I'll stop" works. If it was about food, ask what is cooking.
