Unknown Emoji Error when trying to react with unicode emojis

Hi, i am trying to react with a standard discord emoji, and based on the docs I am using the unicode emoji. I copied the exact emoji shown in the example (other unicode emojis don't work either) and tried to react, but I am getting the Unknown Emoji Error. My same code used to work earlier this year. This is the code I used to test it:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Events, version } = require('discord.js');

void (async () => {
  const client = new Client({
    intents: [
      GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
      GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
      GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
      GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
    ]
  });

  await client.login(require('./env.json').dev.keys.token);
  console.log(`Logged in with discord.js ${version}`);

  client.on(Events.MessageCreate, async message => {
    if (message.content.startsWith('react')) {
      const response = await message.reply({ content: 'You can react with Unicode emojis!', fetchReply: true }); // this works
      await response.react('😄'); // this does not
    }
  });
})();

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Events, version } = require('discord.js');

void (async () => {
  const client = new Client({
    intents: [
      GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
      GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
      GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
      GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
    ]
  });

  await client.login(require('./env.json').dev.keys.token);
  console.log(`Logged in with discord.js ${version}`);

  client.on(Events.MessageCreate, async message => {
    if (message.content.startsWith('react')) {
      const response = await message.reply({ content: 'You can react with Unicode emojis!', fetchReply: true }); // this works
      await response.react('😄'); // this does not
    }
  });
})();
