I hate this so much. Facebook Messenger does this too, in fact almost every app does. They've banned the old style smileys altogether -- there's no possible way to send a message containing one -- and it really bothers me. If I type punctuation, I want the punctuation, if I wanted the emoji I would have typed the damn emoji. I can't believe anyone thought altering people's messages without their consent was a good idea.
