The kissing face emoji can represent a romantic kiss. Most often, the emoji implies romantic feelings. You can send this emoji to a crush, date, significant other, or spouse to essentially say, "I'd be kissing you right now if I could." Some people even use it to say, "I love you." [1]
- "I had a great time on our date last night! We should do it again sometime. π"
- "Hello, my love! Been thinking about you a lot today. π"

The kissing face emoji can also be a platonic kiss. The π emoji doesn't have to be romanticβblowing kisses can be done in a platonic sense, too. Many close friends and family members send this emoji to one another to say "I love you" over text.
- "Thanks for coming over today, dad! It was great to see you. π"
- "If I didn't bombard you with annoying texts, I wouldn't be your sister! π"

The kiss mark emoji symbolizes a kiss. As the short-form version of the word "kiss," the π emoji can be used in place of "kiss" or "kisses" rather than typing out the whole word. It can be used in either a romantic or platonic context.
- "Sending you lots of π today!"
- "I'm gonna give you so many π€ and π when I see you!"

The kiss mark emoji is flirtatious and seductive. More often than not, the π emoji is meant to be enticing and romantic; it has more steamy implications than other kissing emojis. When someone sends you the kiss mark emoji, they might be trying to get a little sultry with you![2]
- "I want to see you so bad. π"
- "You're adorable. π Can I call you?"

The kiss mark is also a sassy emoji. You can use the π emoji if you're feeling a little cheeky. Remember the phrases "kiss something goodbye" or "kiss my butt"? Well, you can put a little extra emphasis on a sassy remark with a π emoji to make sure your point gets across.
- "I am so ready to kiss these exams GOODBYE. π"
- "Anyone who takes me for granted can kiss me goodbye! π"

The kiss mark emoji refers to makeup and beauty. Sometimes, the π emoji can be a bit more literal! A kiss mark implies lipstick being left behind after a kiss, so when talking about cosmeticsβparticularly lipstickβthe π emoji can be a useful tool. You can use it to talk about applying lipstick, favorite makeup products, or about style and beauty in general.[3]
- "Omg, this new π is amazing! π"
- "I'm feeling particularly fierce today! π"

π (Kissing Face) Emoji vs. π (Kiss Mark) Emoji

A kissing face emoji is more likely to be friendly than a kiss mark emoji. Both can have romantic vibes, but π is a sweet emoji you can easily send a parent or friend. π is more often used in steamy, sensual messagesβalthough you can still give it a platonic or sassy context. Overall, both emojis can be used interchangeably or together to say "kiss" without fully writing the word.[4]
- "Hey, mom! Just wanted to check in and say, 'I love you!' π"
- "Hi, girl! Let's hang out at the party this weekend! π"
- "I'm really looking forward to tonightβ¦ π₯΅π"
- "Sending you many kisses today, my love! ππ"
