Aar8 is an acronym/abbreviation hybrid that is short for "at any rate." The saying is a conversation filler, similar to saying, "Anyways..."
Aar8 is a playful variation of the more straightforward "AAR" acronym. Most people use it online when messaging, and some people use it when texting.
However, aar8 is obscure since people primarily say "at any rate" in person to finish a thought or segue into a new topic and don't typically do that when typing. Since it is uncommon, it will most likely confuse the recipient rather than be a good transition.
