Then just use Emacs' facility for abbrevs, and turn on
abbrev-mode, write "cognize⬛" and put cursor after word and use
`C-x a g' to add the abbrev interactively.

Programmatically, if you are to add it to `global-abbrev-table'
 then you do following:

(define-abbrev global-abbrev-table "cognize" "knize")
(define-abbrev global-abbrev-table "collect" "klect")

and do not forget to save abbrevs:
