Cannot write `:prepend` in Confluence

Question

I am trying to write a document that contains the text `:prepend`, however, the `:p` keeps getting replaced by an emoji.

Two questions:

- How do I make it stop so I can type what I type?

- What setting is there to stop this nonsense from happening in the future? Because I as a user want a no nonsense typing experience.

Just to make sure, is this it?

I don't have it disabled and I'm not experiencing emoji autocorrection

You can prevent Confluence from automatically converting text to emoticons by disabling Autoformatting in your user profile

You do this by selecting your picture in the top right

- selecting Personal Settings.

- select Editor

- check Disable Autoformatting.

Weird, when I start typing that, I do get the list of optional emojis but if I keep typing, it disappears and I can type the word as normal.

I know it used to that but can't explain why it's NOT happening on my site.
