What π means
The tone is cozy and casual. π is comfort food: late-night snacks, rainy days, study nights and sick days. In India it often means Maggi or hostel noodles. In the Philippines people use it for pancit canton, mami or lomi. In Indonesia and Nigeria it often stands for Indomie or other instant noodles. Anime fans link it to ramen scenes. In K-drama culture, the line 'Do you want to eat ramyeon before you go?' is known as a flirty invitation, so some fans use π jokingly that way. Most of the time, though, it just means food.
In Indian chats
π very often means Maggi or other 2-minute noodles, especially for midnight snacks, rainy weather or hostel life.
In a relationship or crush chat
If the person watches K-dramas, 'want to eat ramen? π' can be a playful hint about inviting you over. Without that context, it is just an offer of food.
From a girl or a guy
It is not usually a romantic signal. It most likely means they are hungry, eating, or inviting you to eat together.
