adding an Emoji to a button getting "invalid emjoi"

I am trying to make a simple game of chance where you select a "shell" that something is hidden under. I want to put a shell emoji on each button but I cant figure out how too with the ButtonBuilder.setEmoji() command. I am using discord.js v14.14.1

- Custom emojis: \:name: ➞ <a:name:id> - Twemojis: \:name: ➞ unicode representation - Emoji picker: WIN + . / CMD + CTRL + SPACE / CTRL + . - Right-clicking any emoji will not copy its id!

🐚 \:shell: Produces the above

placing that in the code

const three = new ButtonBuilder()
    .setCustomId('three')
    .setLabel('3')
    .setEmoji({name: "\:shell:"})
    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Danger);

const three = new ButtonBuilder()
    .setCustomId('three')
    .setLabel('3')
    .setEmoji({name: "\:shell:"})
    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Danger);

i still get the error data.components[0].components[0].emoji.name[BUTTON_COMPONENT_INVALID_EMOJI]: Invalid emoji

You have to paste the literal emoji

thankyou! dont know why I couldn't find that anywhere. every example i found in the docs just has an id number in a string which does not work. this works 🙂

    const two = new ButtonBuilder()
    .setCustomId('two')
    .setLabel('2')
    .setEmoji({name: '🐚'})
    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Success);

    const two = new ButtonBuilder()
    .setCustomId('two')
    .setLabel('2')
    .setEmoji({name: '🐚'})
    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Success);
