Understand. The auto insert symbol most likely goes back to this 2002
OOo bug:
<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=4579>
[Special Character Shortcuts]

The initial definitions for the autocorrect are located in the /autocorr
directory. They are simple ziped .dat files (DocumentList.xml is the
actual file) & probably could be modified & then copied across like a
standard template.

You might want to look at the archives of the AOO dev list. The early
posts regarding this issue provide an interesting read.
