The Em chord is E G B
The F# would be the 9th note (8th note is an E as well, one tone higher is F#)
This is how I understand it but I am Not a theory expert so take that with grain of salt but I believe it is correct

Hi @Dirk_R , I believe @Alfred has given you one answer for the notes being fretted, but the truth is, that the chord name is based on the intended root note (1 note).😱😱 So if you intend that the E note (2nd fret, D string) is the 1 note, then yes, the correct name is Emadd9. But for instance, using the same fretting, let’s say we want the open G string (G note) to be the 1 note, then the chord name is Gmaj13 or Gmaj7/E – yea, go figure, right? Anyways, I found a website that has wonderful tools to help with questions just like this (and a lot more). I’m not computer savvy enough to put a real link here so you’ll have to type it into your browser 🙁
oolimo.com/guitarchords/analyze 🤩 Check it out – hope it helps 🤩

Cool Site! that would have saved me from counting on my fingers and toes!
Isn’t music amazing, how contextual even a chord name can be?-
Yes @Alfred , it is😎 – so if you dive into the site some more, I believe you can do things with other instruments, music theory – all kinds of stuff. Just go to the main site (oolimo.com). I have it bookmarked and have used it several times to my benefit.
