8 years ago This is mentioned in the "Known Problems" section 😕 A great way to help get this bug fixed on iOS 9 (the issue is different on iOS 10) is to file a duplicate radar (it can be short and sweet).
My radar 27377015:
Area: Keyboard
Summary: Many users use custom Keyboard text substitutions to make typing easier; Often these substitutions include symbols, but it seems the word being replaced often isn't the one in the replacement dictionary. See steps to reproduce for more detail.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Add a new substitution to the Keyboard settings that uses a symbol like colon in the text to be replaced (example: replace ":zzz:" with "Going to bed!" or ":trump:" with "🎃"). 2.Try typing just the word "trump" in Notes and observe that a suggestion is given even when the colon is not typed first.
Expected Results: Substitution suggestions shouldn't be given unless they match the replacement word.
Actual Results: Substitution suggestions match just the alphanumeric content
Version: iOS 8.4.1 12H321 (also confirmed on iOS 9.3)
Notes: This seems to affect iOS but not macOS, additionally iOS 10 seems to have a different problem I will file in a subsequent radar.

as i discovered when iCloud sync updated my phone with my laptop text replacements.
on OSX, you have to type :foo: to get the foo-emoji.
on iOS, you just need to type foo. This is not useful -- a NB in the readme would help.
