A little known feature of OS X is something called Text Substitutions. Text Substitutions comes with a few sensible defaults like ( c ) → © and TM → ™.

Since I use “;pPppPPppPppPppPpPpp” all the time I thought it´d be a time saver to channel the power of automatic substitutions. Now whenever I do “;P” i get “;pPppPPppPppPppPpPpp” (if I have enabled Text Substituitions in the app).

In order to enable this feature you have to right click a text field in any Cocoa application and select Substitutions → Text Replacement.
