Before Unicode emoji were prevalent, ASCII emoticons dominated, and it's not uncommon for multi-character sequences to be automatically transformed into their corresponding emoji. It isn't hard to set something up that does these kinds of transformations for other Unicode characters - use trigraphs for clarity, and type "/:0" to produce "∅". Or whatever's comfortable for you. Maybe rig it on Ctrl-Alt-0, if you prefer shift-key sequences.
