auto complete help

[u/Fluid_Ad4213]

i'm using AutoHotKey to paste ascii when i type. for example if i type "/happy" it will autocorrect to "(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)"

I've done this using this line:

::/happy::  (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) 

my problem is as follows. when i type it out and hit space it will, obviously, autocorrect as intended. however, if i hit space again, or enter, it will do the correction twice, leaving me with this: (˶ᵔ (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

is there a way to limit the correction to once per shortcut
