The flag of the European Union: a circle of twelve gold stars on blue. It stands for the EU and, more loosely, for Europe as a whole.
People use ๐ช๐บ in posts about EU politics, travel with no borders, the euro, and pro-European views. Some add it to bios to show a European identity beyond one country.
The twelve stars stand for unity and completeness, not for member states, so the number never changes.
