U+2234 "∴" Therefore is a mathematical and logical symbol composed of three dots arranged in a triangular pattern, signifying a conclusion or result that follows logically from preceding statements or evidence.

This concise glyph efficiently communicates a chain of reasoning, serving as a visual shorthand for logical inference.
