It can be turned on/off, say by adding System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, App Shortcuts for Text Replacement & Hide/Show Substitutions. (^<cmd>T & ^<cmd>S seems fairly safe.)
Also, one might try replacements with some escape code, say using # or \.

It does not seem to work with combining characters.

One can make MacOS keymaps using Ukelele, but that is very time consuming. The text substitution system is very fast, both in terms of creating it, and using. I made a system for all the over one thousand math styled alphanumeric symbols.
It is tricky to make sure there are no conflicts, and the .plist format is right, which is why I wrote the C++ program.

That might work well of the set of characters is fairly small.
