When doing circuit analysis calculations I use the mathematical therefore symbol in my calculations and need to document my iterations to support my analysis. There is no ASCII code for the "therefore" symbol. There is a UNICODE U+2211 for it that doesn't work. I had to cut and paste the one in the title. Any pointers here?

2Do you want this: ∴? The internet seems to think this should be U+2234, not U+2211. (But I'm not getting the correct symbol using Alt+2234) – The Photon Jul 01 '19 at 18:58

1Try Unicode U+2234 – StainlessSteelRat Jul 01 '19 at 18:58

1This would be a stack overflow question. On this group you would type in `\$\Rightarrow\$` to get \$\Rightarrow\$. – TimWescott Jul 01 '19 at 18:58

1Definitely the wrong stack. https://fsymbols.com/keyboard/windows/alt-codes/laptop/ – Transistor Jul 01 '19 at 18:58

I'm not using a laptop and I have done my due diligence searching the net for a solution with no answer that works. – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 19:02

Unicode U+2234 gives me ║ – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 19:04

It has a lot to do with circuit analysis calculations! – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 19:05

ALT+8756 gives 4 not therefore already tried that also... – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 19:19

You may be out of luck. [Code Page 437](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437) – StainlessSteelRat Jul 01 '19 at 19:25

2Just use the HTML entity `∴`, which renders as ∴ – Dave Tweed Jul 01 '19 at 20:02

Just use the HTML entity ∴, which renders as ∴ Except that I am documenting my analysis in a plain text file. – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 20:29

Did you google it?
Because the symbol is not usually available on keyboards and within fonts, and to prevent compatibility issues, users have substituted a colon followed by a period (":.") to represent it.

Yes but I did not find that one... Interesting, thanks! I actually looked at that and missed it. – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 19:09

1Because I skipped over the freemasonry part as being of no interest. Strange they would put that there... – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 19:20

Mathjax
Basically use HTML for best or Mathjax which is “bound by \$ before and after \therefore
I am an EE, \$\therefore\$ I think outside the Ω box.

But no, therefore... Seems like I need to use :. but don't think others with a mathematical background will recognize it. – SamR Jul 01 '19 at 19:37
