Unfortunately if you were able to do this before, there is no way to do it now. Here is a link to the updated Help Article on all shortcuts in Docs: https://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=179738
The best way to do it now is Alt+I to access the menu options and C
++Edit (thanks to anon for pointing out easier way to access menus now++
Made an edit to keyboard inputs above to go directly to the Insert menu, and updated the keyboard shortcut for special chars which was changed.

You can set up your own auto-substitution. Under Tools | Preferences check the box for "Automatic substitution". Then you can add whatever character combination in the "Replace" column with what it will automatically be replaced with in the "With" column.
So, for instance, you might have (c) automatically replace in your document.
(Mine used to be filled with all kinds of shortcuts—as you can see here—but now is blank. I suppose too many people kept asking why their text kept getting replaced.)
For Apple apps, make a text replacement for it:

Other apps like MS Word have their own system for this in their menus.
I found several answers for you here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3685146/how-do-you-do-the-therefore-%E2%88%B4-symbol-on-a-mac-or-in-textmate
a google search is all it took.
In the character viewer under math symbols. ∴
Office 365 Word 2018
So the therefore symbol on the left is the one I want and the one on the right (U+2234) is the one default one that word accepts as a symbol. I can insert the one on the right with a CMD+OPT+T custom keyboard shortcut (achieved by going to insert (Font: Symbol), selecting the therefore image then keyboard shortcut). Is there anyone to use the therefore symbol I want over the default one? I've tried text replacement in system preferences & word but they won't accept my preferred symbol.
Possible solutions that might work but I don't know where to start:
- Is there a keyboard language that supports this exact symbol?
- Is there a clipboard manager that I can use to store this symbol and then have a hotkey to use it
Usually, I copy my preferred symbol from googling "therefore symbol" and copying the symbol in the immediate definition but this prevents me from copying anything else.
As stated in the comments, you get the symbols in mathmode simply by writing them down. Packages like amsmath and amssymb support you.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\newtheorem{theorem}{THEOREM}
\newtheorem{proof}{PROOF}
\begin{document}
\begin{theorem}
If an operator has both Left Identity and
Right Identity then it is \emph{UNIQUE}.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Let $e_{l}$ is left identity
$\therefore e_{l} * e_{r} \implies e_{r}$
\end{proof}
\end{document}
A somewhat larger version of \therefore may be built as:
\dot{.\hspace{.095in}.}\hspace{.5in}
