::hotstring:: '< this doesn't work

When I try to make that line as a hotstring in Autohotkey, it does not seem to work. I tested some variations and realized that the colons ::, when included, sort of breaks that hotstring and it doens't work.
How can I make the above code into a working hotstring?
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_EscapeChar.htm says:
`::(literal pair of colons). In v1.0.40+, it is no longer necessary to escape these.
However, this doesn't really seem to be true: Your hotstringi doesn't work for me either.
Still, if you escape the :: as shown in the link, it'll work for you.

See "Ending Characters" in the AutoHotkey documentation for Hotstrings.
Unless the asterisk option is in effect, you must type an ending character after a hotstring's abbreviation to trigger it. Ending characters initially consist of the following: -()[]{}':;"/\,.?!`n `t (note that `n is Enter, `t is Tab, and there is a plain space between `n and `t). This set of characters can be changed by editing the following example, which sets the new ending characters for all hotstrings, not just the ones beneath it:
In other words, remove the colon from EndChars like this:
#Hotstring EndChars -()[]{};'"/\,.?!`n `t
