How do you make a bot add a custom emoji reaction to its own message?

Question

As far as I know, get_all_emojis has been deprecated and I've been struggling to find a replacement. How do I make a bot add reactions to its own messages with a custom emoji?

What I'm really struggling with is getting the "emoji" variable in the line:

message.add_reaction(emoji)

If I can get that, I'm pretty sure the line above would work. How do I do this?

Pretty much everything online is the code that's not working, I just need code that does — Yozy Opto, Jul 03 '23 at 23:41

You need to inform as emoji, the code of your custom emoji. To get the code, type in a discord channel \:emoji_name:. The code of a custom emoji has the pattern <:name:id> or <a:name:id> in the case of animated emojis.

message.add_reaction("<:Vip:897596558323908678>")
