Implementing role reactions using native discord emojis instead of custom discord emojis(python)

Question

I've been working on coding my own discord bot in python and I've been trying to implement reacting to specific messages in a certain way will you give you a certain role. I figured out how to get this to work custom discord emojis, but I'm struggling to get it to work with native discord emojis. I know I that i should try be using the emoji's unicode somehow but i just can't figure it out

#roles for hemisphere and native fruit
#first part - emoji id, second part - role id
#CUSTOM EMOJIS
hemisphere = {693662576936222811:[693663054788821092],
693662585953714256:[693663114914168913]
            }
#NATIVE DISCORD EMOJIS
native_fruit = {693711698082660427:[693711520953270293],
693711724024430633:[693711530197516289],
693711811312353330:[693711572312391721],
693711739744813056:[693711538623742042],
693711786582474752:[693711553257799720]
                }
hemisphere_id=693914783979667506
native_fruit_id=693914786773205103

#add roles
@bot.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(reaction):
    if reaction.user_id==bot.user.id:
        return
    if not ((reaction.emoji.id in hemisphere) or (reaction.emoji.id in native_fruit)):
        return


    guild = await bot.fetch_guild(reaction.guild_id)
    user = await guild.fetch_member(reaction.user_id)

#CUSTOM EMOJIS
    if reaction.message_id == hemisphere_id:
        emojiid = hemisphere.get(reaction.emoji.id)
        id =emojiid[0]
        await user.add_roles(guild.get_role(id))
#NATIVE DISCORD EMOJIS
    elif reaction.message_id == native_fruit_id:
        emojiid = native_fruit.get(reaction.emoji.id)
        id = emojiid[0]
        await user.add_roles(guild.get_role(id))        
    else:
        return

I'm new to python in general so I'm having trouble figuring out how to move forward

For native emoji's you have to paste the actual emoji icon rather than the id. You can get it by typing \:emoiji_id: in discord and replace emoji_id with the id of the emoji. For example, cucumber is a native emoji for discord, to use it in your code, you have to type \:cucumber: in discord and it will return 🥒. Then you can copy and paste 🥒 into your code in place of native_fruit_id. You can also go on https://getemoji.com/ and copy and paste from there. Hope that helps!
