Many apps provide such feature that surprisingly works like input methods in Emacs, e.g. an incomplete sequence is left untranslated, etc. More complex sequences work this way: type the first few chars, e.g. ‘: t h’, then a completion list pops up with the first completion selected ‘:thumbsup:’. Then typing RET inserts ‘👍’.
