Every vendor (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, WhatsApp and Facebook) draws π in its own style, so the colours or shape may differ a little for the person you send it to. The meaning stays the same, because the text always carries the same code point: U+1F31E. It has been around for years, so practically every phone and computer in use today supports it.
