Without root*******
EverClip app is capable of doing it. But I don't wanna buy another app. It would be a really cool feature, I think

This feature is difficult to create for performance reasons. You could try to use trigger UI Event with Text changed and execute a flow whenever the text contains your abbreviation. You could then use an action Control UI to replace the abbreviation or paste an alternate text. The accessibility service trigger is a little bit delayed and executing a flow will also take some time so I'm not sure if the result will be satisfying.
