U+2234 Therefore
U+2234 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Mathematical Operators in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.
The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+2234 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The CLDR project calls this character “therefore” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: logic.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
In logical argument and mathematical proof, the therefore sign, ∴, is generally used before a logical consequence, such as the conclusion of a syllogism. The symbol consists of three dots placed in an upright triangle and is read therefore. While it is not generally used in formal writing, it is used in mathematics and shorthand.
