# Mathematical therefore symbol (∴) needed for documenting circuit analysis calculations [closed]

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?

• Do 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 1 at 18:58
• Try Unicode U+2234 – StainlessSteelRat Jul 1 at 18:58
• This would be a stack overflow question. On this group you would type in $\Rightarrow$ to get $\Rightarrow$. – TimWescott Jul 1 at 18:58
• Definitely the wrong stack. fsymbols.com/keyboard/windows/alt-codes/laptop – Transistor Jul 1 at 18:58
• Just use the HTML entity &there4;, which renders as ∴ – Dave Tweed Jul 1 at 20:02

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 1 at 19:09
• Because I skipped over the freemasonry part as being of no interest. Strange they would put that there... – SamR Jul 1 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 1 at 19:37 • Basically use HTML for best or Mathjax I think$\therefore\\$, I am \therefore – Tony Stewart Sunnyskyguy EE75 Jul 1 at 19:38
