π (Leaf Fluttering in the Wind) Emoji Meanings

What does the π (leaf fluttering in the wind) emoji mean on TikTok?
-
The π emoji is usually a stand in for weed on TikTok. TikTok’s guidelines prevent users from posting directly about marijuana or anything weed-related, but people have found a way with the help of the π emoji. If you see the π emoji popping up on TikTok, especially if it’s paired with the π¨ emoji (used as a symbol for smoke), there’s a good chance it has something to do with weed.
- “#ππ¨”
- “5 reasons you should date a st0ner ππ”
- “Signs you’re a smoker ππ¨”
π (Maple Leaf) Emoji Meanings

- “I refuse to eat pancakes unless they’re doused in syrup π”
- “Think I’m going to press some π this fall π”

2The π emoji is an autumn classic. The vibrant red-orange color of this leaf emoji makes it a favorite for all things fall. Raking leaves and videoing yourself diving into the pile? Snapping a pic of the changing leaves on your scenic drive? If it’s fall-related, include the π emoji when you post or text about it.
- “This is my favorite time of year! ππ₯§π§¦”
- “Truly stunning views of the changing leaves on my commute to work today ππ³”
- “When you spend an hour raking leaves and your dog decides it’s his turn ππΆπ”
