Automagic text substitutions suck!

Suddenly Telegram is randomly replacing the text I wrote with semantically different glyphs, with no way to disable this behavior. E.g. when I type “>>”, Telegram turns it into “»” (this is NOT OS X’ text substitution at work, I disabled that). This is a major nuisance. “>>” and “»” are not the same, and chevrons » are easy enough to type on OS X anyway (either directly on the keyboard, or through the character map panel). If people want substitutions they can set them up themselves in the OS X settings – don’t patronize your users! Please disable this behavior or make it an option at least.
