Symbol for "therefore'

What has happened to the three-dot symbol for "therefore" in mathematics ?
It's not on keyboards anymore, so what takes its place ?

I'm not aware of any keyboard that has or had a therefore symbol on it - and I've been a computer person for many years.

The therefore symbol is part of the Symbol font which should be available on your computer. It's created by selecting a backslash (\) in the Symbol font.

∴

I copy/pasted it from elsewhere. There is no ascii code for it. You can get it from Word (Insert > Symbol).
