What π means
The smirking face carries attitude. It can say I know something you do not, I told you so, or I am being a little cheeky. In flirting it is one of the most common emojis for a playful or suggestive hint, stronger than π and lighter than π. With friends it often means confidence or mild bragging, as in a good comeback or a win. It can also be teasing or sarcastic, as in sure, I believe you. The tone depends heavily on the message before it, so a π after an innocent line usually means they are reading something extra into it.
From a girl or a guy
It is often flirty or teasing, especially late at night or after a compliment. Between close friends it can just mean smug or cheeky.
In a relationship or crush chat
It usually signals a playful or suggestive mood. If it follows something you said, they may be hinting at a double meaning.
Sarcastic use
Sent after a doubtful claim, it means I do not believe you or I see what you are doing.
At work
Best avoided with colleagues you do not know well, since it can read as smug or flirty.
