There is is pretty handy, built-in, text replacement tool.

Settings -> Keyboard -> Text

Here are my top "compose" shortcuts "_shrug -> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" and "_stare -> ಠ_ಠ" :)

And these sync over to your iOS devices too, where the shortcuts are even more time saving.

There's also a "unicode hex input" keyboard, though it takes over the entirety of the option mapping (option-[0-9a-f] becomes a charcode, the rest has no effect).
